I compiled a cheesy little counter program on MY GS with Orca/C and TurboC on
my PCT (V30 8MHz). They were about the same, PCT was out slightly ahead. I can
not tell if this was due to ineffieciency of the V30 (which is significantly
better than the 8086), or the PCT's IO functions. Both were in text mode. 

I had done a graphics based program under contract for the local board of Ed.
 on the IIe. It was a little faster than my friend's who did the IBM version.
This is not entirely a fair comparision since mine was all done in Assembly
and his in TurboC, but is in general close to other results I have heard of.
His target platform was an original IBM XT, but with VGA graphics.
