Changesets for this Pull Request have not been imported, because it had been already declined on Bitbucket. Marked as closed by the import user.

After some analysis of issue #1414 (closed), I've created a small modification that brings a speedup to the reduce() function, when used with min() or max().

The speedup is between 10-15%, depending on list size and if it is sorted or not.
