Leon:
It is not realy a case of anything but comput intense applications. The
application I am thinking about does between 100 million and 1 billion real
multiplications per itteration. This takes on the order of an hour in
68882 instruction times at 25MHZ based on Motola data and the program takes
around 3 to 5 hours when using FFP in TDI modula.
I also do simulation programing which can take hours of computer time on
any system. Also I frequently need the extra precision from double or even
extended precision computation or the n'th generation data has no meaning.

TDI Modula-2 uses its own IEEE single-precision routines, it does NOT use
the FFP library. Benchmark does use the FFP library and is therefore much
faster at doing REAL operations. Give it a try…
