That could be hard to guess without the detailt of your program. Remember There could be other things than the CPU slowing it down. o The operating system (differences in implementation of systemcalls etc) o The amount of memory, the bus speed of the memory. o The file system (if the program finds files i.e) Without knowing anything about the program, it's impossible to tell. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
