[net.unix-wizards] 8086 C code query

andy (06/28/82)

Hi,

	Does anybody know whether there is a significant amount of object
code expansion when C code is compiled for the 8086? If this code expansion
is relatively large does it then degrade performance to below that of other 
micros? Is the same true for the iapx286 or other micros, e.g., 68000 and
z8000? Does anybody know who might be porting Unix to the 8086?
