If you read the documentation (radical notion...) you will find that pcc
was built for portability, not for dazzling code generation. In that area,
pcc beats the pants off the VAX C compiler. Also, are you comparing VAX C
to current versions of pcc, or to the decade-old quick-and-dirty first-cut
one from 32V that is still (last I looked) used in 4BSD?
