The highest g77 entry in the list (because nobody with an Alpha  
bothered to send anything in) is:

PentiumPro 200MHz/256K cache, Linux, g77 0.5.18+gcc 2.7.2 [*] .  
29.6 s  25Apr97
PentiumPro 200MHz/256K cache, Linux, g77 0.5.18+gcc 2.7.2 [^] .  
33.0 s  25Apr97
[*]  as [^], plus -fstrength-reduce -fthread-jumps -mno-ieee-fp
[^]  -O3 -malign-double -funroll-all-loops -fomit-frame-pointer
     -ffast-math

so 43 seconds on an (effectively 166 Mhz machine) seem rather low to me

Cheers,
