Lewinsky - Dan - Re: "It may well be a freak outlier, but in the only direct, somewhat controlled, comparison we ever did when our first (550MHZ!) Athlons came in, we moved some LP models to an Athlon that we also ran on a (this was pre-coppermine) Pentium 3 550. At the same 550MHZ, the Athlon was about 4 times as fast. The models were written in C++ Builder and used GAMS gams.com - maybe it had something to do with Borland's libraries or the GAMS code. It was really quite an eye opener" Living in the past ! Paul
