Hello DJ,

Sorry I lost the address of the mailing group.

I did compare the speed of djgpp and msc (16bits) and I found that on the same
machine
on a real program djgpp is almost twice as fast as msc (both optimation
disabled). 
This is partly due to the better memory management of the dlgpp dpmi
environment. 
It also compiles faster on larger projects (about 25 source files of 2000 lines
each) and the 
executable size is smaller: 150.000 versus 216420 bytes for msc.

The program had to rebuild the index files (ISAM) of a database.

Fulco Bohle.
