+ website
    + Added Harbour website (except art, docs and stat subdirs)
    ; TODO: configure automatic mechanism to extract site from
            here and regularly updload to sf.net web area
    ; TODO: Clean HTML code, remove unused picture/files, avoid JS
            Any takers?
    ; NOTE: Please make modifications to website code only in
            SVN, then upload the content to web server manually.
            IOW never update on web server directly.

<H2><A NAME="46"></A>6.2. Are applications &lt;attribute&gt; than CA-Clipper applications?</H2>
<p>Or, to put it another way, will your application be bigger, smaller, slower,
faster, sexier, etc.... Generally, at least at this stage in the life of
Harbour, any given body of code that can be compiled with Harbour and with
<A HREF="harbour5.html#Trademarks">CA-Clipper</A>, on the same machine and with the
same environment (it wouldn't be much of a comparison otherwise would it?)
will run slower and will probably be &quot;bigger&quot; when compiled with
Harbour.</p>
<p>The same is probably true when comparing Harbour compiled code with other
Clipper compatible compilers.</p>
<p>The reasons for this are many and varied and, as is pointed out in many
places in this document, Harbour is still early in its life and continuing
development and Clipper compatibility are of greatest importance. The issue
of &quot;performance&quot; will be addressed when it is most appropriate
to do so, and when people are available to look into it.</p>
<p>As always, if the performance of Harbour is an issue for you now and you
want to see Harbour perform as per your expectations then
<A HREF="harbour45.html#WhenFinished">contributions</A> speak louder than benchmark results.</p>
