And I think this isn't useful for any real program. I don't know about any program that is just thousand adds in a loop. Even more: the results are clearly different to what you get with any complicated benchmark, the AMD K6 and PII aren't so different as your benchmark seems to indicate. I think the best way is to just use some "typedef BasicType int;" compile, meassure and then try with other type. That's assuming the operations feets in any integer size. Are you sure your benchmarks isn't involving type conversions? (zero and sign extend as example) this could make ints faster no matters what's the real thing. SET -- Salvador Eduardo Tropea (SET).
