All figures are Execution Times in Seconds - measured on a 850 MHz Intel Pentium III with 256 Mbytes RAM, and running Windows 2000. So far as possible, we have used the compiler switches which give the best overall results. We have not attempted to tune individual benchmarks, and, in particular cases, different switch settings may give better results.
Similar comments apply to other compilers.
These benchmarks are derived from an earlier set of 30. Thanks to Stefan A. Deutscher for supplying the Watcom 11.0 results. The benchmarks were also used to compare Linux compilers on the same machine.
