I have an Intel-based MacBook Pro. Until recently, I still used a PowerPC version of FPC. PowerPC code on this machine runs through (invisible) emulation.
However, I upgraded now to FPC 2.2.2 for Intel on mac. And to my surprise one of my time-consuming apps is twice slower, instead of faster. The PowerPC version took 95 minutes, the Intel version takes 195 minutes. This is on exactly the same machine, some OS. It could be a compiler options issue. But I tried to compile the Intel version for fastest code (no checking, etc.). Is there a way to see what options fpc actually uses (i.e. to find out which options are in effect, e.g. useful when both configuration file and command line options are being used)? The app does not use floating point operations. Anyone else have the same experience? Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom -- E-MAIL: T.Verhoeff @ TUE.NL | Dept. of Math. & Comp.
