I couldn't resist, I ran factor.c on my Macintosh using Aztec C68k from
Manx Software Systems.  The execution time was 3.34 seconds.

On a 128k Mac without a RamDisk and standard disk drives

	compile and assemble 30.6 seconds
	link 35.7 seconds
	a total of 66.3 seconds  (this includes startup time for cc, as and ln)

	total size 5290 bytes

Summary:
	Compiler         Computer          Execution time (min:sec.)
	 
	 Aztec              Z80                     2:06
	 Eco-C              Z80                     1:41
	 CI-C86            IBM-PC                   0:22.4
	 DeSmet C          IBM-PC                   0:10.1
	 Aztec C68k        Macintosh                0:03.3
	 Consulair C       Macintosh                0:02.8
	 PCC               Vax 11/780               0:00.4
