How about a Pentium-specific Executor? Any idea on how much
speed-up? With the 'Pentium' GCC, you get about 25% speed increase.
Were there ever any thoughts of using a more advanced DOS compiler?
(Watcom comes to mind). Or the C compiler on UnixWare... Which is
supposed to be quite good at Pentium optimization.
