Yes, I am. >That seems like a complete waste of CPU cycles to me. The compiler folks (IBM >and non-IBM) spend a huge amount of time on the optimizers to improve the >generated code to squeeze as much out of the processor as possible. Can you find a measurable difference between 'optimised' and 'non-optimised' code, these days? I/O, yes. CPU, no. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
