14 Run-time Performance of DJGPP Programs

This chapter deals with issues pertinent to run-time performance of DJGPP programs.

• How fast: What code quality should you expect.
• Older is faster: Programs compiled with older compilers run faster.
• Pentium: DJGPP programs on a Pentium.
• IO speed: Is I/O really so slow in protected mode?
• Slow-down: Why could a ported program runs slower.
