Platform recommendation/tradeoffs? [message #3970]

I am about to order some flavor of IDL (Mac or Unix) and
I'm wondering if anyone can help me gauge just how much performance
I loose by getting the Mac product. (This saves me enough money
to buy a Q630 cpu)

I have a SG Iris Indigo with lots of memory and some disk space
that I could be using for IDL, or I could put it on the aforementioned
Q630. If intense image processing were among my requirements it would
be a pretty easy decision, but the data that I'll be working on is
basically about 16 or 32 128x128 matrices - not too big of a problem
from a graphic standpoint (I suppose I would rarely need to look at
more than 1 128x128 image at a time, for instance)

This problem has a lot of number crunching - 128x128 non linear
least squares fits of at least 4 parameters per fit.

Any comments? Any experience using IDL on a 68040?

TIA, Joe Smith
