>The compilers are slow compared to Turbo Pascal and Lightspeed (C/Pascal), >but I don't think they are much slower than the other compilers on the >market (TML, Consulair, etc.) Off the cuff comparisons of LightspeedC with MPW Pascal suggest that the latter is an order of magnitude slower. The MPW editor's search procedure is also much slower that LSC's. Take the MacApp "inc1" source file, put a short unique string at the end, position the cursor at the beginning and search for the string. It will take 9-18 seconds, depending on whether the source is in the cache. Do the same with the LSC editor. The search will succeed in about 1 second, virtually instanteously.
