Is there an efficient implementation of 'sort | uniq -c | sort -n'? I have a 4 GB core file I want to run 'strings' on, and the above is really slow.

What I've done in the past is written my own tool to use a tree to combine the three operations into one. Is there a way already in coreutils to do this? If not, would there be any interest in adding such a method?

When in doubt, duct tape!
