I suspect that the main slow-down is in disk I/O. Try this: set up a humongous
RAM disk (about 1.5 megs), drop your ThC project folder into it and do a complete
compile from scratch. Now do the equivalent for Zortech C++. The time difference
should drop dramatically, as Think C pre-loads as much as it can into the project
file, and keeps it handy in memory (if MY memory serves me correctly).
