Has anyone gotten around to running the Dhrystone benchmark (C version) on
the C64 compiled with the Abacus C compiler?  I've heard that this compiler
produces quite slow code and am interested in quantifying the rumors.  The
ProLine C Power compiler benchmarks at 19/33 Dhrystones/sec (auto/register).
I'd sure like to know how the Abacus compiler fares in this test so I can
judge its capabilities based on fact instead of rumors.  Unfortunately, as
an owner of C Power, I am not inclined to go buy Abacus too, just to run this
test.
Thanks,
Frank Prindle
