Try a "time drynr" in both cases and you will see that there is no difference in the time for the execution :-). The failure is dhrystone.c has a hardcoded value for HZ in it or uses a wrong value from an include file, not sure which was the failure. The HZ value has changed from 1.1 to 1.1.5/1.1.5.1 from 60 to 100 if i remember right. -- ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST 12489 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856 Germany/Europe
