Why is all this effort being spent running an obsolete version of the
Drhystone bencmark? This is 1.1; 2.1 was distributed over a year ago.

Version 2.x is designed to avoid certain distortions which gave
misleading results with compiler optimizers in the earlier versions.

I hear nothing in life is certain but death and taxes -- and they're
working on death.
