Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into quicksort rather reached via a function pointer. It's also faster in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and type. This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script. There might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too, but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight in code footprint.
