fatfs.o need on the firebee? I get with Vincent's cross-gcc: 2.46s real 2.35s user 0.15s system (+- 0.5s)I get: 1m34.395s real, 1m25.315s user, 0m5.665s sys
Longer than I expected ..I've found the config-parameter JITCacheSize for aranym with was set to 8192 (is that kB?), I changed it to 65536 which increases gcc-speed significantly:
time gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -g -O3 -DKSH=1 -funsigned-char -Wall -DVDEBUG=0 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m68030 -o exec.o ../exec.c
9.93s real 9.67s user 0.26s system
132|/usr/src/ksh/src/o-ksh}sh -v ./c
time gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -g -O3 -DKSH=1 -funsigned-char -Wall
-DVDEBUG=0 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m68030 -o exec.o ../exec.c
8.64s real 8.46s user 0.18s system
Better than the former 23s, and quite close to 5-7s I'd expect.
With fatfs.c I get:
17.88s real 16.45s user 1.43s sys
which proves that these times are not linear (which I also expected ;)). I
don't think that hostfs (where this was run) has a great impact on the
speed.
Anyway I don't think that the gcc-slowdown on atari comes from mintlib, I guess it spends most of the time in code-generation/optimization where mintlib is probably not very much involved. Maybe some of the other libs used have more potential for improvements.
