- GNU C compiler for MPW version1.37 has the fastest and tightest code I have
- seen. But it fails on Quadra with cache on (why? the code it produces is
- ok?!?!?!). I hope the new Version 2.xx will be seen on the MAC.

- For reference MPW C 3.2 22500 dhrystones and GNU C 25000 dhrystones on a
- Quadra 700 without cache-board.
