Yes, the 25mhz How much of that is due to the difference in compilers?? HP's compilers are well known for producing very good results on Dhrystone. Have you tried running Dhrystone on any of HP's 040 machines? I recall a Motorola employee posting results on comp.arch a while back which gave around 35000 dhrys/second for an 040 at 25MHz. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.
