Reducing the size of the executable seems to be at the expense of speed -- One of our programmer ran this test: About C4GLFLAGS = -shared I ran cp.4gm/o_oplan.4gs - report in 2 modes: 1. Without dynamic link and it took: real 7m32.53s user 5m49.48s sys 0m19.48s 2. With dynamic link and it took: real 10m24.92s user 8m29.84s sys 0m19.65s This showed us that we gain space and memory, but we are loosing time almost 50%. -- Clay Irving, N2VKG : clay@panix.com : Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it http://www.panix.com/clay : to gnaw through the leather straps...
