Remember that the pre-MR versions of the SGI Pro64 compilers run in
IA-32 compatability mode.  

1. nfs problems.  We don't see that problem running TurboLinux.
   This is not a compiler problem but either a Linux problem or a
   problem with your system.

2. Compile speed. The SGI Pro64 compilers do suffer by running in
   IA-32 compatability mode.  The truely native versions (undergoing
   testing) run faster.  Also we found a bug that causes some programs
   to take lots of extra time to compile.  If you want, I could tr
   compiling your sample program with the compilers undergoing testing.
   If you are interested, contact by email directly (rat@sgi.com).
