Help speeding up Borland console applications

[scanlonj]

I have a C++ console application that was compiled under Borland C++ Builder 6.0, and it runs extremely slowly. If I recompile it with the aCC compiler in a HPUX (Unix) environment, the speed increases by over 5x. The source code itself is identical, save for a few differences in the file and display stuff.

The program does a lot of number crunching, and I have ascertained that the problem is not related to I/O. According to our IT people, the PC that I am using is actually a faster machine than the Unix box.

Does the Borland compiler bring along any "excess baggage" during compilation? I have turned off debugging, etc, and it helps a little, but not much.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanx
Jack

Well, you could check if you have enabled math. processor in BCB, it could be that easy.....

Otherwise i don't know what's wrong, i have never had those kind of problems.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

Are you compiling it in the IDE or from the command prompt?
