Performance issues with sort in textutils 2.1

I'm using textutils v2.1 under RedHat Linux v7.2.  I was previously
using sort as

  sort -m -k2,2n /tmp/named_pipe1 /tmp/named_pipe2 ...

but now the -m option insists on writing temp files, which clobbers
performance.  Would it be possible to merge on the fly for named pipes?
