You see, even we (i.e. Mike) noticed one glitch in the test program that make Zippy look ridiculous on the Mac, although it wasn't.
Hmhmhmh... I must have done something very wrong :-( When I now repeat the tests on Mac/Zippy, even with the size limited to 16000 bytes, it still performs miserably. For just one thread, it gives "decent" values (although still 2.5 times slower than VT). For two threads, it goes down to about 1/5th and so on... I have asked Gustaf to try to reproduce that on his Mac, as I slowly start to see white mice (no, I never drink _any_ alkohol)... If Gustaf confirms my findings, then we are still back where we were with Zippy. And yes, I have disabled that block splitting Mike was talking about in his email. So it is not that. And... it is not size of the allocation (> 16284) as I fixed that as well... Background: I wanted to update the README file with new performance values and found out that Zippy isn't changed, although I thought it was fixed with that size change... Hmmm... Zoran
