I ran accross a CMU technical report on the efficiency of C coding
on a vax 11/780. The report discussed timings for different
language constructs and various optimization techniques (like the
use of register variables, loop re-structuring, pointers versus
arrays, etc.) The timings were done on a 4.1BSD system, however I
suspect that they are generally applicable. There are several
interresting examples of simple programs and optimizations that
people may apply, and of the results.
For anyone interested, it is:

(BTL).
CMU-CS-82-134
No, I won't make copies, but it's at least available from the
btl technical reports service for you btl'ers.
