Peter, I would be interested in this. In fact it is good news for me if I can get another increase in performance. I was already pleased at the speed of Delphi cf Fortran, but my Fortran was some years ago on a very old machine. Thanks, Glen

I do not mean that it doesnt use the FPU, just that its conversion of the delphi code to machine code isnt the most efficient on the planet. I am writing a Raw file convertor along with a friend ( www.rawmagick.com ) and I have had to convert quite a lot of code directly to assembler because of this. If you dont mind writing some assembler then of course Delphi will be perfect. Shout if you need any examples of Delphi's slowness with floating point and how to convert to assembler. -- Best regards, Peter _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
