Recently, Comp.arch listed the results of a Dhrystone test of different C compilers. The results included LightspeedC, at 2467 Dhrystones, and also Sun 3/50's, at as much as 4000+ Dhrystones on a 16.67Mhz 68020 (gcc compiler). So I don't think that LightspeedC is nearly as fast as possible. A better compiler for the same CPU (at 1Mhz more clocks) runs almost 8/5 as fast! Oh well, some day we will have extremely efficient compilers for the macintosh.... I hope.
