Re: SQR vs C

[garyj@sun4.miti.com]

     Benchmarking SQR vs. C (and other entities) is one project that is hot 
     on my list.  I have not started our full-scale benchmarking yet, but I 
     would be interested in any test results that you all have done, as 
     well as any ideas you may have (whether you've done any benchmarking 
     or not) regarding test conditions, constraints, categorizing of 
     benchmarks, etc.
     
     We (MITI) realize that such experiments are useful to our customers 
     and provide valuable insight as to future product development and 
     product direction, ensuring that SQR is not only driven to leading 
     edge, but continues to meet your needs.
     
     I will be most happy to summarize any benchmark findings past, 
     present, or future.  Please feel free to send your ideas/results etc. 
     to us via the sqr-users list or to me directly.   aTdHvAaNnKcSe

Has anyone done any benchmarking between SQR programs and C programs? 
We have gotten varying results and pretty much concluded the following:
     
C is faster when there are numerous and complicated calculations.
     
SQR is faster when there is file i/o.
     
More people in our area are familiar with SQR and therefore for us 
development time is shorter and maintenance easier.
     
Has anyone gotten different results or in other areas?
