I don't think it is really necessary to implement generic version
through templated. It is much better to replace generic version with
templated in places where it matters for performance.

Updated numbers are (same benchmark on same notebook, but with new
master, new ubuntu and later patch version) (average among 6 runs):
master - 16135tps
with templated qsort - 16199tps
with bucket sort - 16956tps
Difference is still measurable, but less significant. I don't know why.
Rebased version of first patch (qsorted tamplate) is in atttach.
