Mike,

This group will strip attachments. 

GUS, Dhrystone is *heavily* slanted to the performance of strcmp,
strcpy, and structure copy (aka memcpy).  Very heavily.  It's not a
particularly good performance metric, as everybody knows, but it exists.
As such, Dhrystone figures are almost meaningless, because in an
embedded system Dhrystone ratings may differ if your strings are held in
FLASH rather than RAM (just as a "for instance").

We reckon that Keil benchmarked with a baggy libc implementation which
makes it big, and we don't understand any of the numbers Keil produced
for GCC, they're way out to lunch.

Rgds,
