Hi!!!

I'm not sure that I can write this newsgroup on my problem,
but I guess somebody can help me.

I'm using DJGPP as C++ compiler on my pc.
My research area is CFD and I have done much work
using Fortran 77.

I can't say I hate Fortran, but I feel like moving to
more flexible language.

So I made a test for comparing computing time.
The result is
c code         : 21 sec
c++ code       : 57 sec
Fortran77 code : 115 sec

The test code is quite simple, consisted of 3 nested "for" loops.

I don't understand this situation.

I've read manuals and they told me
computing time should be at least close between C and C++

Does this mean that C++(or DJGPP) is not suitable
for numerical computation?

Thanks in advance
