Hi Allard,
for 1CPU engines, would Spark 0.3 still be expected to have an edge over this latest Bright?
Cheers,
Graham.

Hi Allard,
downloadlink for spark0.3a/bright0.5c does not appear in Firefox 3.5.7
only older version 0.3
with IE i was able to download it.
Thanks for the great programs.

Bright has a better understanding of "Open Files and Diagonals", and "Re-Capturing" than Spark.

Now works with firefox too.
Another Question: why is the difference (in bytes) so big ?
spark-0.3a-vc64.exe ........... 366.592
spark-0.3a-vc64-mp.exe .. 3.251.200
spark-0.3a-gcc64.exe .........221.184
spark-0.3a-gcc64-mp.exe .. 229.376 is similar

Bright 05a (with 1cpu) got a slightly higher score than
Spark 03a (with 2cpu).
Very interesting comparison, indeed.
Best,

Bright 0.5c used 2 CPU's in STS tests, so does Spark. (Read the conditions)
Perhaps I should now test gcc compile for Spark to see if it gets significantly better scores.
