Interesting, what type of computation does the net do?

It would be nice if one of the pre-release tests was a benchmark
to ensure that recent changes haven't slowed things down (too much).I've been 
using the SGI compiler on an Octane R10000 @ 250Mhz.(I never installed gcc, so 
the MIPS compiler just
works).
The default compilation seems to be n32 rather than 64bit so,
I suspect there would be a very significant speedup if one were to
use 64bit. According to "man abi", one can change the default compile
type by editing the /etc/compiler.defaults file. Maybe I'll get brave this 
afternoon
and try it. It doesn't solve you problem however. Would be better if configure 
options
existed for overiding compiler choice.
