Try the Mandelbrout series fractals with a crunch of 300. This will take considerable time per pixel for the interesting regions, so drawing time is not significant. There are atleast 2 versions here in one of the libraries. One of them is writen in M2S modula, the other in TDI modula.

Again, if you want benchmarks I don't recommend fractal generators, or any image rendering program. While it is a good "real world" application it isn't going to tell you how effectively the compiler's code accesses the math chip. Do you know of a pure floating point benchmark here? — Art
