Yes. To be fair, I'm probably getting the "Hello, world" artefact here by
having a small program compiled under both compilers. We currently don't
/have/ any big programs to compile: historically, we're using Turbo
Pascal. My supervisor is used to Turbo C, and likes the djgpp package
largely because of RHIDE. At any rate, we will eventually convert all our
programs to C, but the compiler to be used is as yet undecided; until that
point, I don't have any largeish demo programs to show either him or you
the relative compilation time.

This may change soon. Watch this space.
