[comp.sys.mac.programmer] FORTRAN: MACFORTRAN II vs. Lang. Systems

cegrw@cc.newcastle.edu.au (02/20/91)

I've just got some commercial data that seems to suggest that MACFORTRAN II
is 2-3 times faster than Language Systems FORTRAN. They claim they do it
with superior optimisation. I've never seen that sort of speedup from
optimisation. Is the info MACFORTRAN II (ABSoft) are distributing bogus
or are these sort of speed ups seen on real programs as well. Any comparisons
between the FORTRAN compilers would also be welcome.

Email to me and I'll summarise to the NET.
