a "dummy" main and a "hello world" main are utterly irrelevant if you want to
compare size/speed optimisations (leaving CRT aside).
A "complex" sample is Jemm386 C part (it can be compiled with both MSVC and
OW). It is still small model, but uses some far pointers, and OW is very dump
with far pointers.

if this is another story, then why does a program benefit both in size and
speed if you add the -G3 switch ("use 80386 instructions") in MSVC 1.5?
