Trying to hold down the noise by doing one reply for all of your great 
suggestions.

@Peter, no, did not know about .pch. The documentation is sorely lacking. Would 
like to give that a try but no idea how.
> Did you run both of those tests using the same REGION value on the same LPAR?
Same exact virtual machine on both but I am not certain about the REGION size. 
Suspect it was the same. I will look when I get back online and possibly 
re-test.

@David Crayford, agree, this product does not seem quite yet ready for prime 
time. Sadly. I had hoped to move forward with the new compiler.

@David Cole, well, both compile and run times are important. If you pay for 
compile cycles, as we do, then compile CPU time is important. If you value 
developer time, then compile elapsed time is important. Of course run time is 
important, but harder to measure: what inputs, on what machine?

@Allen: noted. I will re-run the tests with larger and consistent region sizes. 
I suspect they were the same, but I am not online at the moment.

Also not sure what the OPT value was for the Open compiler test. I did not 
specify, and the default does not seem to be documented :-( OPT value was 0 for 
the legacy test. When I retest I will specify OPT 0.
