RE: How much time to count from 1 to 1e7?

Ted,

I am suprised your machine takes 49.123 seconds. I have a P3/800Mhz that
does the it in under 27 seconds; incidentally, matlab V5 does it in under 3
seconds on my machine.

regards

mick underwood

Interesting! With a P3/733MHz I get 49.123 (pretty repeatable).

What's your secret, Etienne?
