Lines: 11 I don't know which system you're using, so this may not be any help, but I hacked on the source code for 4.1BSD Vax [nt]roff to try to cut down on total number of subroutine calls. Simple benchmarks (running off the paper I was working on) showed about a 10-15% improvement. I strongly suspect that my changes will not work on other (System III, V) [nt]roff sources, but I could post diff listings if there is enough interest. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay
