Hi all, I just wanted to tell everyone to go and take a look at a nifty little program called FMATH.LHA here on CIS. It's absolutely great if you have math intensive applications and a fast processor like a 68040 or a math copro like 68882. This FMATH.LHA contains replacements for your math libraries, which are significantly faster and smaller than the original libs. I'm always wary of such programs because the machine usually gets much less stable and the speed increase is almost zero, but this is the exception to that rule! The author also included small benchmarks, here are the totals for my 68040 at 33 MHz… Using C= math libs Using FMATH libs mathdoubtranstest approx. 88 seconds approx. 46 seconds mathsingtranstest approx. 66 seconds approx. 45 seconds mathtranstest approx. 102 seconds approx. 53 seconds I think the numbers speak for themselves. Get it! >F<riso Friso P. Gosliga | Auto CIS: 100341,464 – Internet: Friso.Gosliga@kub.nl | Pilot

It sounds great… but could you be more specific where to find FMATH (forum, section). thanks, Edgar

Where is this FMATH.LHA you referred to, CIM says file not found??? Help

FMATH.LHA can be found in Amigatech in the libraries section. You may also look for various programs written by Arthur Hagen. They are amazing little gems that will produce a real improvement in system performance without using much memory.
