I have two examples of the same thing: a sort which is 4x faster with djgcc
and generation of a graphics file which is 2x faster with djgcc.  I suspect
that gcc's advantage comes primarily from using a flat address space and not
having to shuffle segment register values.  If I'm right, Borland C should be
comparable to djgcc in a small model program (with no variables declared far).
