For the next one, that would be Yeah, I actually fetched that and built it with various optimization flags to no avail - couldn't get more than 240K keys/sec or so out of it. Either gcc generates really inefficient code, the lack of hand-optimized ALPHA assembly really penalizes this case or there's some special trick to this that I don't know about. I truly did play with just about every type of optimization flag for gcc and they actually had very little overall effect. Since I couldn't reach the server anyway, and 240K/sec is lousy, I just ditched the idea of signing it up for this contest. :) Jordan
