Hi,

I tried the following program in TC 3.0 and DJGPP...

#include <time.h>

void sub(void)
{
}

void main(void)
{
clock_t start,end;
long n,time;

clrscr();
start=clock();
for (n=0;n<1000000;n++)
{
sub();
}
end=clock();
time=(end-start);
printf("tics:%d",time);
time/=CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
printf("sec:%d",time);
}

...and got these results...

DJGPP - 	tics:13345	sec:146
TC - 		tics:5		sec:0

Can someone explain why this is happening?  I would expect DJGPP to be
twice as fast considering it is a 32bit compiler.  Something must be wrong!

Thanks!
