Yes, we've noticed over the years!

Actually the top [slower] end, but no matter.

The speed-up noted was between 3.5.4 and 3.8.7. I have 2.8.3, but
have changed computers since 2016 and I don't propose to install old versions
simply to check your figures. I don't [yet] have 3.9.9 -- as noted to Janis,
I can't keep up with almost daily new versions! But ...

... I get ~20M calls/sec from 3.8.7. Which is meaningless without
knowing what computer was used, or how it's configured, or what the aims and
objectives of A68G are compared with your other languages.

Or maybe it's a silly test; if anyone really wanted to find Fibonacci
numbers for large arguments they would surely memoise the results or use one
of the other ways of finding them efficiently?
More interesting would be some figures for the Whetstone benchmark or
similar? That is at least /intended/ to reflect real usage, and we have figures
going back over 50 years. [There is a version in the source directory of A68G
downloads.]

Have you tried "a68g -O somefile.a68g"? Or "-O3", etc. The A68Gdocumentation gives full details. Works for me on Linux.
