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. Bob Wheeler Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Salt Lake City (801) 581-4090
