Very strange, I don't know what could be causing it. Did you use the command on the ZCT site? I tried again and it works fine:

Code: Select all

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@zct.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zct co -P zct
Anyways, it doesn't really matter anymore because you now have a tar file sitting in your mailbox. :)

So I did. :)

Here is the updated table with ZCT added:

Code: Select all

Phalanx XXII:         29.11
Fruit 2.2:            42.1
Glaurung 1.2.1:       42.7
ZCTx640.3.2486:       78.0
Strelka 2.0B:         85.7
Glaurung 2.2 magic:   91.4

Oops, I made a minor mistake. The other programs were benchmarked on a first-generation iPod Touch, while I benchmarked ZCT on a second-generation iPhone, which for some reason is always a tiny bit faster. With ZCT running on the iPod Touch, I get:

Code: Select all

Phalanx XXII:         29.11
Fruit 2.2:            42.1
Glaurung 1.2.1:       42.7
ZCTx640.3.2486:       81.1
Strelka 2.0B:         85.7
Glaurung 2.2 magic:   91.4
Glaurung 2.2 hq:     122.0
