I am fully aware that performance with quad-precision is lower than with double precision. How much will certainly depend on the specifics of the code in question. The flag I'm proposing would help in evaluating this performance hit. > (2) I think your time would be better used by dealing with your assigned PRs. I think I can very well decide for myself where to waste my spare time. There were actually times when I enjoyed contributing to gfortran and reading this list very much, but recently it's really becoming a PITA and I feel like I could spend my time on much nicer things ... Over and out, Janus
