Re: Eu 3.1.1 Speed

Hi,
I downloaded and used Borland C v5.5.1 free compiler for translation. Watcom C Compiler v1.8 is a huge 73+MB download which I am trying to download on my dialup connection.
The Translated Exe file sizes went up by almost 3-4 times than the Euphoria Exe, but I could use UPX to get them down substantially.
The speed differences were noticed as follows:
Project with screens Euphoria Exe EuToC Exe
43 110 77 22 48 31 16 18 13 11 16 11
Still more than 1 minute to load the program might be considered too high.
Watcom is supposed to generate faster and smaller executables.
Has anybody compared Borland against Watcom? If so is it worth going for Watcom? I am planning to try out Watcom when (and if) I am able to download the same.
Also, while using EuToC Translator ecw.exe, how to incorporate an icon for the exe being generated? (as possible while binding Eu Exe) Are there any parameters to be passed for including an icon for exe?
Thanks & Regards, Rad.
