This is not true.  There was one program used for what was marketed
as a "Comparison between DJGPP V2 & WATCOM C V10".  Moreover that
program was a hello-world program (a program that doesn't do anything
interesting) and not an application (a useful program).  This is
not the mark of a serious comparison.  Had he used, e.g., gzip as
a test object I would have been a lot more impressed.

Based on this "examination", the poster in effect tells us that
DJGPP V2 is shit and would we please do it all over?  Thank you
very much.

To keep the style: you haven't check the mail archives, have you?
Just a month and a half ago I posted an analysis/explanation on
this exact topic.  It's here:

In the same thread DJ gave advice on how to reduce the code size
by not linking in things you don't need:

It wasn't really difficult to find these in the archives, and I'm
sure there are a lot more discussion on the subject in there.
