The problem was the output to console during searching. The program shows in
a 'status line'  the record in proccess during the search. This was de
bottleneck: under BC y use direct access to video memory and time consumed
is nothing. But I don´t know how can do this with gcc, and I changed output
thru cputs. But this is SLOOOOOOOW.

I tried to profile using -pg parm to compiler and 'Link for profiling' from
RHIDE, but program but it produces a SIGSEGV.

Then I did a test without output and got it. Now I have a limitation in
frecuency of msgs to user during all proccess and times are good. Except
where is necessary console output. Do you know if its possible to use
another system for screen write?

Thank you.
