D'oh. My carelessness, sorry! :)

Using zsh's time function (gives real and user time - which are
pretty similar on this unloaded machine). I've put my sample wave
file at http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/speextest/sample.wav if anybody
wants to compare times.

I'm curious now why my machine is slower - perhaps it's something
about the way I've compiled it. (Compiles by default with -O2, and I
can slice another .07 seconds off by compiling with -O999 :)

Thanks. I'm beginning to grasp it piece by piece. Currently looking
at the codebook search - next culprit on the list as given by gprof
(and OPTIMIZE :)

Cheers,

Bernard.
