That is within the normal range for the effect of a different compilation on the cpu cache hit ratio.

Have you run with CACHE DEBUG ON and PROFILING ON? If it is a large program you need to tune which subroutines are included and make sure the number of cache slots specified aren't all used. This functionality isn't so easy to use. Simple programs like the bubble universe can see huge gains. I'm testing on the solar eclipse calculation. Normal run time 13.5 seconds, set cache on with no tuning 17.8 seconds and default no. of cache slots. Identify and cache key subroutines 10.9 seconds


One of those things where I quickly checked TBS before I drove off. I ran back inside for a quick test. Will be back there in an hour or so
