[kde-solaris] Re: fibonacci

Forte is so great a compiler that it is 33% faster on a
CPU architecture that Sun has, comparitively, less experience on
than gcc?

I'm just not buying it - nor am I really buying this form of
benchmarking. A single fibonacci run-through is not enough.

Regardless, at the end of the day - I want to get things done.
