Thanks for your helping out on this. To respond to your objections: (1) we used a gettimeofday() timing implementation and got very similar results; (2) SEP/INT 80 is a non-issue since the CPU running SCO does not support the "sysent" instruction; (3) at any rate, the sysent instruction can speed things up *at most* by 50% when no other work is being done; (4) Static vs dynamic compilation is almost a non-issue, as demonstrated by benchmarks.
On the Unix.com forum, I've posted benchmarks run across different architectures, all under Linux.
