My test was simple: // project created on 8/16/2004 at 4:00 PM using System; class MainClass { public static void Main(string[] args) { double sum=0; for ( int m=0;m<9;m++){ for ( int n=0; n<=(1000* 1000 * 1000) ;n+=1 ) { sum *= 1.0; } } } } The results was Under .net 6 secs. Under mono 9 secs, adding --optimize=all did not make a big difference. The same program in c++ compiled by g++ -O3 is also about 6 secs. But the most peculiar thing is that sometimes when compiled by mcs it takes mono above 2 minutes to finish, I have not found the differencing factor yet. -- Med venlig hilsen Martin Hansen Software Specialist Center for Software Innovation Stenager 2 DK-6400 Sønderborg Tlf: +45 7347 7017 Fax: +45 7347 7001 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.cfsi.dk _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
