I've done some quick test with gcc-3.3.2 and povray 3.50. I only did test the -O things... what I found out: povray compiled with -O3: took ~55 secs to render picture povray compiled with -O2: took ~50 secs to render picture povray compiled with -Os: took ~68 secs to render picture -frename-registers and -finline-functions both did no good, making slower executables. However, this was really a quick test. CPU was a pentium-mmx 233 mhz with 256mb ram. Greetings, Dennis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
