That's the trade-off for portability. I usually run simh on the fastest (in terms of integer performance) computer here, which is a large UltraSPARC system. I can't run E-11 on that. The UltraSPARC machine, even while busy, runs rings around my Core i7 quad desktop box running simh. I did notice that SIMH vax seems surprisingly slow, at least when running NetBSD. VAX is a "big" architecture and instruction set to emulate. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
