Um, I would hope that 566 Mhz should be fast enough!!!
I actually stripped and ran upx --best on my own GCC 4.4.0 / DJGPP
2.04 --with-system-malloc -Os -mtune=3Di686 build, and I ran that 2
MB .EXE on my Pentium 166 no MMX (32 MB RAM total, minus 5 MB for UIDE
cache and 5 MB for RAM disk) without any .el files or anything else.
It started up almost immediately, and this was under either DR-DOS
7.03 or FreeDOS 1.0++. So I don't know what Tomasz is experiencing
(although I didn't try loading anything > 500k, the ASCII .txt from
NASM 0.98.39 was the biggest I could think of offhand). I assume he
compiled it correctly since -O2 is default.
Tomasz, what size files are you trying to load? What text encoding? I
highly doubt it's a MS-DOS 6.22-specific slowdown although I guess
it's possible. Maybe your network redirector is slowing down all files
accesses. Are you using a decent cache? Even with all the billions
of .el files auto-loading, I find it hard to believe that normal-sized
files take long to load. (Sure, 100 MB might take a while, but by
"normal" I mean several MB at most.) Font-lock is on by default now,
so maybe he should turn that off.
