Yes, you're right.
Actually, the performance of IDL in Linux is quite good, but still I
was surprised to find the same code running a litlle bit slower than on
the same Win computer. You can imagine what my shock was when I tested
the same code on the G4! Probably same as yours...

I understand you have now a 6.2 version and it is still slow on OS X
because of the lack of decent AltiVec support.

Anyway, IDL is stable and works just fine in both Linux and OSX -surely
because of the Unix underneath-; I still cannot understand that the Mac
OSX version of IDL is so much slower than the Wintel. OK, I can in
terms of market demand, but still we are talking about a commercial
product highly priced.
I guess Mac IDL users just must look forward to getting Intel chips
soon.
Many thanks and best regards.
