I don't know, but it would appear to be a gross oversimplification. Ted should know as well as anyone here that MIPS is meaningless, and that a snippet of code taken out of context doesn't tell much. We don't know why the OP was concerned, but that doesn't mean that his concern isn't valid. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
