Thanks.

Curious. In my cat "/proc/cpuinfo" (using Ubuntu 6.06)

when I multiply two 400x400 matrices, I observe that C is faster than 
OCaml (2 seconds for C code and 16 seconds for OCaml one). It is perhaps 
because I use MPI. Do you used -O2 ?

Why two different times for the same program ? What is monomorphic ?

ps: I attach the C code and the OCaml one which used some specific 
functions of our parallel version of OCaml (here implemented using MPI). 
         I will send the .exe file to Jacques.
