The software is the MC68UCC4.2 C compiler with -O and #include string.h (inline strings.) External memory times have no effect on the execution time of Dhrystone on any MC68040 system. This is because the benchmark runs entirely out of the MC68040 on-chip cache. -- Dave Trissel - Motorola Semiconductor, Austin
