John, Is there something different that he is doing? I thought that 'sfront' was pure ANSI-C? Or are the things he is doing having to do with the lower-level audio/midi things? Also, just to mention here, from the tests that I have done with the Intel-C compiler (icc), I have been getting about a 3/4 speed increase over using gcc! This is not representative of all types of synthesis. Does anyone know if icc works with Debian? (I would think so, but it does not hurt to ask!). Also, is the compiler a drop-in replacement for gcc? The command line I use to call gcc (to compile 'sfront' generated code) works with both, I am just wondering if there are other 'optimizations' that might help this even more (with icc)? Thanks, Mike
