To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Organization: Edison Industrial Systems Center Status: O I compiled dhrystone V2 (dh1.c and dh2.c) using -O, -O2, and no optimization. There was no difference at all between -O and -O2. Is this to be expected? Both executables provided a rating of about 12,100 on a 386/33 mhz machine. Without optimization, the performance dropped to around 8300. Thanks.
