Under which FreeBSD version is this? 5.3-STABLE (as of last December).

True, but although I still don't know a lot about Alphas beyond what was=20 required to get this machine up and running, I'd have thought it'd have a=20 comparable throughput per cycle. Like you mentioned earlier, though, GCC=20 may not be the ideal compiler for this system. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --nextPart1581668.DNiQAZc4fe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQBCLxQR5sRg+Y0CpvERAnxOAJ4xWWs5dxBz3iwneDpflZk41UiDqwCeNlPw yGbw7Gstm9P3mC0t2WUcwCs= =cVfA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1581668.DNiQAZc4fe--
