You killed the performance by setting -bm flag as default. When -bm is used OpenWatcom uses some different memory allocator which is extremely slow. The next switch which probably reduce the performance is -5s but I haven't made any real tests here and I only guess that stack calling convention is slower then register one. Anyhow here the difference will be probably minor. Without this switches OpenWatcom gives the fastest code in few places. F.e. even ICC is not close to OpenWatcom results in T029 and T030. The overall performance is also quite good. In my tests it was noticable better then BCC or POCC. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
