Rich Neitzel posted an article suggesting that from the timings he gave using the Plum Hall benchmark showed that RISC is often slower than CISC. Although I don't have my C Users Journal handy I recall that the original article said that these benchmarks where designed to be small and easily typed in at trade shows. They were also designed to stop good optimising compilers from doing as well as they might. These code is certainly not representative of a typical code. A better place to look might be the SPEC benchmarks. Mark Levison levisonm@qucis.queensu.ca #include <std_disclaimer.h> ---------------------A man to cheap to buy a real signature-------------
