What's the best way of getting a more detailed/verbose benchmark output? (What I mean is, is there an easy way?!) I compiled the x86-mmx version and stopwatch timed some 24-bit stamps. I was getting between 10-15 seconds, with some of them up at 35-45 seconds... But I'd like to see how many tests/second this is actually giving me. John.
