Hi, Matt. Its a definitively BAD idea do NOT enable optimaslizations fior 68k... Please, can it be next time enabled? No. Enabling the optimizers in SAS/C just makes the build process take about 1000 times longer than it would do normally - and SAS/C's optimizers are frankly shitty (any

If I may allow myself to butt in here and come back to the actual subject line... :) No. Optimizations are NOT being enabled AT ALL - FOR ANY 68k BETA! Optimizing apart, sometimes it is amazing how CPU intensive (thus slowing down everything) the current V beta can be without apparent reason.
