I was really curious to see what would happen if I wrote a program on the
ST compiled under Laser C and then recompiled it in Turbo C in Supercharger
mode. Although screen manipulations are slow on it, everything else
seems to be quite fast. I used an Othello program, and noticed a
1.23 speed increase factor when I was in Supercharger mode as compared
to my ST in native TOS mode (even though I had quickst installed).

So I guess that I am going to use it for heavy number crunching from now on..
