One clarification here. The compilers running on OS/2 and Linux are
virtually identical code. So any differences you see in performance are
not attributable to the compiler itself, but to OS and hardware
considerations. As I noted in my previous post, my guess is that, if
you are running on identical hardware, the most likely difference comes
from the small HPFS cache size in OS/2.
