In fact I found out that a pentium outperforms the 601/67 and the RS2/57 MhZ, as long as most of data and instruction are in the cache (And you have the system for yourself). As soon as floating point gets involved, the brain-dead intel architecture hits back with all the consequences. Another intersting thing would be compiling under AIX with gcc. You can find ready-to-run binaries under ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/aix xlc is not exactly famous for bug-freeness and efficiency. gcc rules ;-) -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
