besides try this : i don't know if it's just my machine but i find
this strange. make a new file with the below code, run it 5 times and
note the different times

--<EuCode>--

include get.e
constant START = time()
sequence fn  fn = gets(0)
printf(1, "Elapsed time: %f\n", time() - START)
integer junk    junk = wait_key()

--</EuCode>--

type hello or some other word, make sure it is the same word each of
the 5 times u test it. Notice the different times. I know this is
normal because the machine is handling diff amounts of processing from
other apps but common, i was getting at least half a seconf
differences for just 1 line -- sequence fn  fn = gets(0) -- so in
theory if there is an average of a half second difference over 1 line
of code in 5 instances how do you think this will implement to some of
the larger algorithms written. ??
