Here is something which counter-weights these arguments, a bit, in favour of Martin's original statement. Christos Georgiou <tzot at sil-tec.gr> kindly communicated to me this pointer for an experiment he did: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=k7clgvoqjur1f10mosue3os74vv7nd34hi%404ax.com Christos observed that using PIC may trigger a 25% slowdown. This looks to me like more than "a few" percent points. Hey, there are good arguments in either direction, it's difficult sustaining a strong opinion. Sigh! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
