Fortran Vs C
(OP)
Anyone have a good test to prove that FORTRAN is faster for math than C?

RE: Fortran Vs C
I've written stuff in Fortran that has been a LOT faster than some other peoples codes. However... they used their algorithms and I used mine. Mine may have been faster just because I was using a better algorithm technique. Such things as this tell nothing about the language itself.
On a side note... I have ( just for fun ) tested Fortran against VB on several different occasions... both for numerical and non-numerical ( read, lots of string processing ) codes. The Fortran has always been at least 20% faster and has sometimes been several hundred percent faster.
