Your code mainly does integer operations and array accesses.
The main difference between C and Ocaml are the reserved bit in integer used by
ocaml for the GC.
Then the generated assembly code are really different and it is possible that
this diffrence cost nothing (almost) on a pentium and a lot on a Alpha True64.
May be Xavier Leroy could look at the assembly code to tell if I am right ?
You could also try with float arrays which should make less difference for your
code ?
