It doesn't really seem to be doing much.. it just takes forever to compile. I still think it is something not implemented efficiently. I was using a 2.4GHz P4 Windows XP laptop and it was still many times slower than my cheap Athlon and Linux.. though it was fast enough. On my box, I also have a Windows 98SE running inside of win4lin. When I compile in native Linux it is 19 seconds. Using win98se in win4lin it is 5 minutes. Hardly any activity noticable during the compile.. the hard disk blinks maybe once every 5 seconds. It's just painfully slow. I think it may have something to do with console programming in win32. I seem to recall an old console project which gained a considerable speedup by simply making it window-based. I fear that the win32 console stuff is performance crippled in some way. -- /* Chris Faherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
