Stop. Don't send me mail, I know. Espresso doesn't call qsort(). I meant to write that *eqntott* spends 90% of its time in the compare routine. While I am babbling, I might as well throw in a complaint about the xlisp benchmark as well. This would be a much better benchmark (at least for evaluating the compiler used to build xlisp) if the lisp program the benchmark executes exercised more of the xlisp interpreter. Xlisp is indeed a real program, but the benchmark only executes small pieces of it because the input data is a toy lisp program. -- ===================================================================== domain: tahorsley@ssd.csd.harris.com USMail: Tom Horsley uucp: ...!novavax!hcx1!tahorsley 511 Kingbird Circle or ...!uunet!hcx1!tahorsley Delray Beach, FL 33444 ======================== Aging: Just say no! ========================
