 Targeting the wrong CPU, perhaps? >>
My memory is a bit short here.  If the IP20 is like the R8000, there are lots
of scheduling requirements for good performance which g77 and gnu-as can't
deal with, and this kind of performance problem is likely.  With the R10000,
using SGI as, g77 usually gives 80% of the speed of SGI fortran.  As g77
doesn't optimize for any particular mips cpu, you can't expect top performance
on the more esoteric versions.
