The reason that the benchmark ran in 4 sec on a z-80 is that the z-80 truncated the number (mod 2^16) to make it fit into 16 bits. The default integer size on the other machines was 32 bits, which is adiquite to hold the number given. In other words, the z-80 didn't execute the code intended, and the compiler was dificient in not giving some kind of range warning of converssion error warning or some such.
