:I just tried this.  Under V.3 on a 16Mhz 386 ( Intel production board,
:with a 387, which shouldn't matter ), I get 12.6 real, 11.2 user, .6
:system.  bc was compiled with rcc.  There were other users on the
:system, but they weren't doing anything significant.

Assuming the "Intel Production Board" you refer to is the "386 AT Clone"
motherboard, your 11.2 second user time represents a 100 per cent
improvement in code execution speed over Xeix code running on the 386
toolkit (factoring the 18 mHz vs 16 mHz speed).

I trust this "rcc" is real software that I'll be able to see running soon.
