Well... I find it interesting that you are relying on the compiler to optimize. Usually the first place to look at is your code. But anyway... looking at your compiler options, I think you have pretty much done everything you can. Maybe optimizing for a particular processor is an option for you? -Barry On Sunday 05 February 2006 08:29 pm, wodderwing1 (sent by Nabble.com) wrote: > I am in a second level college programing class, and we have to make a maze > solving program, and we are graded on how much time out program uses to > produce a optimal solution.
