    Are these timings with or without the Zortech global optimizer turned on?
It makes a big difference.  

    I'm actually rather impressed with the compiler.  The hard optimizations
are all there and working.  But the present release, V2.1R1, has enough
defects that it's like using a beta version of a new product.  Zortech
is good about fixing reported defects, so if you produce a simple test case
for a defect and send it to Zortech, preferably on their BBS, they usually
fix it quickly and send you a compiler update.

    So keep those bug reports going out.

    And avoid forms like

	a = b = c;

in the current release.
