Great idea ziggy! I gave it a test and it took 10.069 seconds, so it actually is a little faster. Don't know what's different with Marks code, shouldn't he use the math lib too? But due to the same MingW it can't really be the big speed boost. I'm very eager on trying this with the newest version of MingW. Hmm shouldn't it be possible to try this little source out with the new MingW ? Chances are it could even work...
Edit: I installed the newest MingW but didn't do a complete rebuild but did use ziggys version so the .c code should have normally been compiled with the new version. Helas, there wasn't any speed change. I'm afraid of rebuilding all modules, would that change anything?
