Buying C for PC - 32 bit compilers?

[michael k finegan]

    Could anyone using a 32 bit 'C' compiler on a PC (i.e. 386) give
some recommendations? Are they really twice the MIPS of 16 bit compilers?
What about MFLOPS - any difference ? Which brand is most 'portable'? What
about their requirement of/interface to DOS EXTENDERS ? Comparisons to
SCO Xenix, or other 386 ~Unix 'C' compilers / output ? Interfaces to operating
system (DOS or other), etc., etc.
    This topic hasn't seen much discussion here, or in other groups. Is it
because no one is using the 32 bit compilers on PC AT machines?

				    Thanks for any info.,
