. As an example, I wrote something in Rexx that took 3 hours to run. I converted to Assembler, and it took 3 SECONDS to run.
You are comparing an interpreter with machine code. Of course there's a differemce. You could have obtained a similar improvement had you written the job in a HLL such as PL/I (after all, Rexx source us not unlike PL/I). But you didn't say how long it took you to write the code in Rexx and in Assembler. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
