Sergei (and others), could you not, please, test this simple patch. It
increases the calculation speed from 10% till 50%(!) for me.

If it is ok, we will commit it to the trunk.

Title:
  Performance optimization of InsertionSortCollider

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine:
  New

Bug description:
  Sergei Dorofeenko  (https://launchpad.net/~sergei.dorofeenko) found,
  that InsertionSortCollider is probably is a "bottle neck" in
  simulations with >10^5 number of particles even in many-threads mode.

  http://www.mail-archive.com/yade-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg06573.html

  Сitation:
  "...I did a perfomance test for parallel mode and results in no good.

  Performance boost only about 40% from 1 thread to 4 thread for 200k
  particles... Cause is a non-parallelised InsertionSortCollider, who
  need about 80% time with 4 threads.

  Results attached."
