I don't get it? Is Autodesk that inefficient? I find with math intensive Fortran Simulation Programs Compiled with Fortran Powerstation 1.0 using Phar-Lap Dos extendor ( I believe the same AD uses for 32-bit DOS code) on identically configued systems: 486/66 vs Pentium/60 both with 16 meg and same disk & video drivers that I get 12X the speed with the pentium. Let me repeat, The Pentium/60 is 12 times as fast at number crunching as the 486/66!!!!! Obviously AD is somehow I/O locked and not optimizing the rendering. Since the actual rendering should be numbercrunching mania and very limited video until their through! Anybody else get these kinda numbers?
