[comp.os.vms] PCA

BOB%HOWARD%CENTER@UTAHCCA.BITNET.UUCP (06/07/87)

	We have PCA here at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and love it.
	Not only does it help to optimize our programs but we also use it
	to track what part of the code has ran during a test so that we can
	design tests that really do the job. Normally the code can be improved
	with PCA and some modules we have gotten a 30 - 35% speed improvement.
	That's a misleading figure since we hope that we can write efficient
	code to start with. (We would be very happy if we couldn't optimize
	our code anymore!) Anyway, we feel that it is a product that is 
	worth having in our shop. Almost everyone uses it for both performance
	reasons and to develope tests for the code.
