hello
-----
in the last day's i tried freebsd (1.1) - i think it's really good and more
consistent than all the linux distributions i've used before but i've found
one problem for me - the math-library (floating-point-operations) seem to be
very slow (factor 2-4 slower like under linux on the same machine) - i've
also tried the msun lib (from 1.1.5) - but i can't see the big improvement -
but floating point speed is important for me because i do mostly numerical
stuff on that machine - can anybody tell me if there is a faster math-lib
for freebsd - or if not - can somebody who knows something about this try to
improve the mathlib
t
p.s.: i've compiled the msun lib with the HAVE_FPU define compiled - that
is'nt the error
