While trying to speed up a program which is output-bound, I found that floating-point output using stdio (or equally, the C++ iostream library) is approximately 9 times slower on a Sparcstation 1 than on a DECstation 3100. Similarly poor performance on a Sun-3/60 suggests that Sun's stdio library could use drastic improvement in this area. Has anyone dealt with this problem successfully?
