The document discusses quicksort analysis and ways to improve its performance. It shows that quicksort has a best case running time of O(n log n) when keys are randomly distributed, but a worst case of O(n^2) if the array is already sorted. To avoid the worst case, the document suggests improving pivot selection by choosing the median of three randomly selected elements rather than just the first element. It also recommends using brute force for small subarrays of size 3 or less.
