ohhh... that's bad. Are you sure that nothing else was running at
the same time? That's pretty weird... anyway, you're the first to
tell me that it slowed down, because everybody that tried it reported
speedups, not slowdowns.

...is basically what I get from people who tries my version. Would you
do the experiments in the different order? Also, what is the scene? How
much memory do you have? Maybe one paid the penalty of getting stuff
into virtual memory...?

Or the K6 200 behaves really differently than the real Pentium 2 ?

Tell me more, I think this might be an important problem.
