I think a simpler place to look is here:
http://en.literateprograms.org/Quicksort_%28Erlang%29

The same code has been improved here:

I believe that I have tested this sort in the past and found it to be quicker than lists:sort, but it probably depends on the context (I didn't exhaustively test it, and I must not have posted the results anywhere).
