 The first time I ran into this journal was several years ago
 when there was a big announcement in the general computer press
 that a sort had been developed that was faster than quicksort, and
 the details were to be published in SP&E.  I'm hazy on exactly
 what happened, but it seems like the sort was only faster on 
 certain data arrangements.

 At any rate, does anyone know if these are "paid" articles, in
 the sense of substantial money going to the authors, or is it
 a "scholar" type pub, where it's just for glory (and tenure)?
