No, not as memory space goes, but let's not compare different complilers
with different libraries and exepect people to use this as measure of
efficientcy. 

But I wasn't refering to memory space. I was refering execution, we were
talking about exectution speed. If you would like to demestrate this you
can take a compiler that either runs on both machines or one that produces
code for both processors. Write a small 'C' routine that uses number of
'C' instructions, with not many library calls. I beleive that you will
find that the 68K and the 32K are much more useful to the compiler.
