Yes, the FAQ helped me with many general programing problems (BTW thanx, 
without your FAQ i couldn't ever come so far. It helped me A LOT :)
But in this case, i have done all i could think of with no (noticable) 
results.

Ok, TurboC sux. but comapre it with WTACOM ... (sorry)
One thing that slows down the compilation is the startup-seqeunce.
But when gcc is in RAM chache (e.g. when compiling all files in a big 
project) it's a lot faster then Borland.

Anyway, i agree that DJGPP has the BEST optimization (Thanx DJ :), read  
the WATCOM FAQ  and you will see :)
