I immediately thought, shouldn't matter since executor compiles the Mac
code itself, and that's the code that takes most of the time. But is that
true? How much time does executor spend in its various modules (screen
update, instruction emulation, routine compilation, routine execution)?
Btw, the assembler output from gcc (and presumably djgcc) looks quite a
bit more pentium-friendly if -fforce-mem is specified. OTOH there seems
to be a bug in -fforce-mem in the latest gcc snapshot, so it might not
work.
