Hi Friends!

	I'm new in the DJGPP business, but it seems to me that most of you
work in game implementation (in fact, that's how I discovered DJGPP).
	But, I work with numerical algorithms, and that means that I'm
*VERY* interested in execution SPEED and BIG memory allocation.
	I'm currently using Borland C++ 4.5, Borland C++Builder 1.0 and
DJGPP and my first performance tests show almost no difference among them (at
least in the SPEED test). Naturally all available optimizations (BC++ 4.5
and BC Builder) are set to speed up the executable. In DJGPP I'm using
only the -O3 switch.
	So the questions are:

	1. How can obtain the FASTEST code compiling with DJGPP (the best
optimizations options) ?
	2. Does anybody know about some more extensive test? I mean,
something that includes, loops, sorting, disk access, memory access and
so.
	3. Sorry guys, but I have to use Win95. That's almost the ONLY
available plataform in my university (sic...). Is it possible to link the
*.o files produced with DJGPP in Win95 applications???

	Thanks in advance for all of you guys, that are trying to make a
better world for programmers! (And sorry about my English!).
