Well, I have benchmarked some simple, silly code of mine and compared with
TYA 0.7/JDK 1.1.6 on Linux vs. JDK 1.1.6 on Win95 on the same machine, and
sadly the Windows version is about 100% faster on those. On the other
hand, it's not like I'm doing 3D rendering or number crunching here so I'm
perfectly happy with the current speed.
I briefly considered getting the JDK sources from Sun and trying to build
it with pgcc, but then I thought that with TYA, it might not make that
much of a difference anyway and would probably be troublesome to do.
I wish I didn't leave the compiler course at school for next year, though,
then I could perhaps attempt helping the TYA project with something
instead of just talking :)
