Subject: djgpp v.s. Borland C++ 3.1


I have been using djgpp for a while on a 486/33 with 8 MB ram.
Recently, I also installed Borland C++ 3.1 because Turbo Debugger
seems nice. After some inital testing, I was suprised to find
djgcc compiled code runs much faster than Borland C++ compiled code.
(This is suprsing to me because I thought these native DOS compiler
should do a better job in terms of speed.)
Do people out there have the same experience?

My program is in C++ simulating some queueing networks. It uses
dynamically growing queues.
In djgcc, I used -O2 and in bcc I used -Ox -3 -f287.
