Actually Stephen, IMHO what appears to be fast code from a
human point of view may fail miserably when it is actually run and
put to the test.
So one way would be to run a small computationally intensive
bechmark program (does anyone have any ideas?) compiled under
WatcomC++ 11(or whatever is the latest version) and DJGPP/GCC
2.952 with full optimizations and see which performs better. And
maybe we can publish the results on this forum for everyone to see.
Whether real/protected mode switches ought to be taken into
account will also have to be considered.
Actually IMHO a test of how fast the mode switching routines are
would really indicate how good a protected mode environment
really is specially for a real mode OS like DOS(the quality of the
compiler also plays a part true enough).
