I ran sieve.ex, and it was about 3X faster after being compiled
(coincidentally, this is about what Rob was reporting--imagine that, a
software company that actually delivers on its promises :):
Compiled:    12203/sec
Interpreted:  4353/sec
Ratio:           2.8

I also tested my Matheval library, and it was over 10X faster for some ops
(eg, calculating (x+1)^32).  So I'd guess that either your version of DJGPP
is out of date, or you didn't actually run anything.  Let's see your source
code for DJGPP for sieve (or any of the other benchmark programs included
with Eu), and then we can compare the mythical U4IA++.

In short, I'm very impressed.  I look forward to the Win32 version, and
putting up my $29.

Has anyone tried compiling anything that uses Neil?  I assume this should
work, since it doesn't use Eu's built in graphics, right (not sure, since
I've never used it)?
