 | | Fm: Ed Fitzgerald 72447,1631 To: Tom Neff 76556,2536 (X) I can't vouch for anyone else, but I started using Verns' stuff when I found it was faster than SEA's, and I switched (after a considerable amount of hesitation) to Katz' when I found it was faster than Vern's. |
 | | Fm: John Wilson 76414,624 To: SysOp Chris Dunford 76703,2002 (X) Chris, I rather think that Tom is missing a point or two as well, like if the reason for the slowness of ARC is the complier, why haven't they recompiled using something less obscure and faster, say MSC or TurboC. |
 | | Fm: Tom Neff 76556,2536 To: John Wilson 76414,624 I, too, wish I knew why SEA didn't switch compilers (when a better one became available -- remember, when ARC was born, CI C86+ and Lattice were about it!) or just plain optimize their code to get faster throughput. |
