Many, many years ago I wrote an assembly language inner loop routine for Mandelbrot set computation. It kept all its data in the internal stack of an 8087. At 4.77 MHz, it did almost 50 Kflop. And the 8087 needed quite a few clock cycles for one of its flops! If I could find that program, I'd like to try it on the PII/450.. :) Alberto
