I am just trying out DJGPP now for the first time after giving it up a few
months ago when i failed to make it work...
i ran into some difficulties this time as well but managed to overcome
them -
HOWEVER - i would like to make a note (just a general note, not some
specific complaint / criticism) that although the compiler along with it's
IDE and all its tools is fairly documented and has troubleshooting sections
and so on -- it could have arrived with some installation utility which
could have made life much easier.

Now to the point:
It takes me about 7-14 seconds to compile:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int a;
   a=5;
   cout<<a;
   return;
}

and i'm running this on a P166mhz with 128MB ram...
Just as comparison -- with TurboC 3.0 it takes virtually NO TIME at all
(compiles before i blink) -
and i am able to use intense software without much trouble (like ARACHNE web
browser for DOS for example)

so is it just DJGPP being "more sophisticated" or simply going through a
lenghtier process --
or is it the fact i'm only compiling/linking/making from within the RHIDE
ide?
or is it the Pentium 166mhz (although i doubt it)...?

What do you guys think, and is it some known issue that can be fixed?
