I did have a brief look last night but I must have missed that. No problem that front then. Incidentally the JIT times are definitely impressive... Times for a 1.33 GHz Athlon are like this: dutton [~/src/parrot] % ./test_parrot ./examples/assembly/mops.pbc Iterations: 100000000 Estimated ops: 200000000 Elapsed time: 4.806858 M op/s: 41.607220 dutton [~/src/parrot] % ./test_parrot -j ./examples/assembly/mops.pbc Iterations: 100000000 Estimated ops: 200000000 Elapsed time: 0.300258 M op/s: 666.093736 dutton [~/src/parrot] % ./examples/assembly/mops Iterations: 100000000 Estimated ops: 200000000 Elapsed time: 0.324787 M op/s: 615.788117 Tom -- Tom Hughes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.compton.nu
