The FAQ, for starters. Please download the latest version 2.10 of the FAQ
(v2/faq210b.zip) and read section 14.2 there. It has been expanded and
enhanced in the last FAQ release and will give you some ideas to try.
In general, DJGPP v2 produces code which is always faster than that of
v1.x. Your problem most probably is due to use of some library functions
or techniques that are inherently inefficient. You should profile your
program to see where the hot spots are and try to speed them up. If you
can't figure out why a certain function or code fragment takes so long,
post the code here and somebody will help.
