Something wrong here! Gambas and Pascal are different category programming languages, interpreted and compiled. And thus this is hard to believe. So I had to test this myself. $ time ./polym_g.gambas 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 real

I guess I should have included my system information; just didn't think about it being relevant at the time. Obviously, though, it is. System Info: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz, 1G RAM Mageia 3, Kernel 3.10.54 (KDE4) Gambas 3.5.4 Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.4 [2014/03/07] for i386

Just to be clear, I did not run 'polynom.gambas' as a script with the she-bang specifying to use 'gbs3' to execute it. That *is* slow. I executed it using gbs3 with the '-f' option invoking the JustInTime compiler. I also just now used the IDE to create a command-line application based on the

Ah ok, sounds more logical. Anyway, if you want to compare Gambas with a compiled language, you should use the JIT compiler. And you must not use it if you compare it with an interpreted-only language. Absolutely, that would make the comparing fair. I'll test later with JIT. Jussi

Just an update. This works really well. Thanks Tobi for help in crystallising where I was trying to go with this. So far (I am only working on this part-time - it's a non-income earner but it will save so much time and effort in the future) I have a robust solution for fully-autonomous

My cleaning script didn't include rm -f /usr/local/bin/gbs3 and apparently because of changed paths make install didn't overwrite old version. So my gbs3 had version number 3.2.90, and no -f option (it was simply ignored)! Just to warn others, you may want to check whether you too have two
