One again: that speed-down is the effect of the disk operations which are slower than in-core arithmetics in the ORDERS of magnitude. When you run any external program from the disk those operations are _always_ included. My point was: since any real script executes at least several external programs the total time it runs will not be affected with the substitution of 32-bit arithmetucs to 64-bit one, even when overflow checks are enabled. I am not concerning about the speed of the external application running, for I am solving the absolutely different problem now. SY, AlexReceived on Tue Apr 22 2003 - 05:45:31 UTC
