Compiling and running of a program that finds perfect numbers upto 10000 is somewhat slow.. but that's ok.. It wasn't until I compiled it on my p90 with 48 meg ram running a a zillion services and daemons that I noticed just how slow the 715 is. Running the program proved this even further. I thought the 715/64 was about similar in performance.. but this simple observation shows this not to be the case. As a webserver the 715 is fine... but I'm now thinking that when these exercises and assignments start getting bigger that the 715 will be just a little too slow for my liking. This isn't a bad thing.. just an observation... Regards, Pete. -- Due to a lack of imagination, this signature will remain under construction indefinately.
