Dear TopSpeed-friends!

 Here are  the  results  of the testing some popular compilers
 with the aid of well-known test program  SIEVE  (BYTE,  1988,
 No.6, p.239-266).
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 Compiler                Version     Time (sec)   Size (bytes)
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 Microsoft C               6.0           9.17         4060
 Borland Turbo Pascal      6.0          20.43         2768
 Borland C++               2.0          20.98         4844
 JPI TopSpeed Modula-2     1.17          8.62         2825
 JPI TopSpeed Modula-2     2.0           7.80         3027
 JPI TopSpeed C            2.0          11.59         1986
 JPI TopSpeed Modula-2     3.01          7.90         3032
 JPI TopSpeed C            3.01         11.59         2048
 JPI TopSpeed C++          3.01         11.65         2064
 JPI TopSpeed Pascal       3.01         10.72         4440
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 I used  the  small  memory model,  all the checks were turned
 off,  all the optimization - turned on (including the  speed,
 not the  code  size).  Language-dependent  library  functions
 aren't used -  only  Lib.Intr(reg,  intrNo)  for  the  screen
 output. Hardware - 12 Mhz PC-compatible.

 Avanti, TopSpeed Modula-2!

 P.S. If anybody has sources of  WhetStones/DhryStones  tests,
      please send them me, and the testing will be continued!
