I'd hardly consider that conclusive evidence. I can show you applications that will run 2x as fast when compiled with VC++ as opposed to MingW.

Each compiler has it's own pros and cons as far as execution speed.

This was a command line application. Maybe GUI ones (using .NET) would be faster in microsoft's compiler? I'm n00b to this but it seemed pretty wierd that it would be that much better when I compiled with MinGW.. ?

One of the ones I am referring to is a command line app. The libraries perform the tasks differently (e.g pow()) and thus will take different amounts of time to execute them. Some functions in each compiler will out-perform others.

I understand. I'll hafta install a bunch of em and have a global projects folder to try em out. Thanks,

portable Dev-Cpp or portable Notepad++, I keep them on my flash drive so I can code anywhere there is a computer since I don't have a laptop.
