	Wow, I feel *SO* flattered, thank you! Actually, I think I'd have to 
give my credit to timely luck: as I'm taking a course in which I need 
to learn how to program (Computational physics, my minor in the Pure 
Physics career), I've been doing a lot of reading on the 3rd section of 
the online UNIX manual lately, to become acquainted with the LibC 
functions, and of gcc's own man page. The latter gives a mildly decent 
rundown on the optimization flags of the compiler, which is why the 
"-fast" in Victor's output caught my eye!

	In any case, I take the compliment as simply accurate! ;-) Hehe....
