I conjecture that the original test may have been against the old DEC
Fortran compiler, known as F40. If so, your new test was against a
different Fortran compiler. Hence different results would not be
surprising. Does anybody who was involved in the tests know what Fortran
compiler was involved? This particular piece of folklore (that Maclisp
generates as good code as Fortran) is more widely quoted than you might
think. If it isn't true, or if the Fortran compiler is one that would now
be viewed as substandard, I would very much like to know.
