I have been using V2beta3 for a while, and it seems to work just fine.
Just last night I downloaded beta4, and recompiled my program with it.
However, I was forced to switch back to beta3 because beta4 seems to
produce unbearably slow code.  The application that I was building ran
(to my estimates) *at least twice as slow* when compiled with beta4 --
even when I used -O2 and -m486 on everything, which I had not been
doing previously.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Am I going crazy?  I don't want to
be stuck using beta3 for the rest of my life.  Please help.  Thank
you.

BTW, I'm compiling on a 486sx33 with 8 megs of ram, in DOS 6.22.
