There was a huge flame war on Bix with all the Macintosh people
dumping on Byte. The Byte response was:
1. Using a high-level language is fair, since people write
in high-level languages.
2. We used what compilers were available.
3. Anyone can gripe about results and if we listened
to them, all benchmarks would be in assembler.
There will be some sort of clarification/follow-up in a future
issue, if only a synopsis of the similar griping under
'Best of Bix'.
I'm not much on conspiracy theories (Byte's after the 68000),
but from what I've seen, they have less Mac/68000 experience
on staff than IBM/8086. I'm not sure I could test the 80386
fairly, since I don't know much about it.
