The code generated by MSVC 6.0 is definetly not faster than the one generated by CodeFusion. However, CodeFusion is not free, it cost me $250. So I'm willing to go through the trouble of compiling crafty with CodeFusion to see if things get better :). Unfortunately I'm having trouble! :( After changing the crafty makefile to use the cugnus compiler I get a bunch of warnings. Mostly looking something like this: Warning: using "AX" instead of "EAX" due to "w" suffix. Warning: using "CX" instead of "ECX" due to "w" suffix. ... perhaps the assembler being used is not the correct one?! hristo
