I find this comment absurd. What did you mean by it ?
Yes, gfortran is not Absoft, just as red is not blue (?!).

I also don't understand whether you're looking for a free or a

money was an object.

Hmm. Unfortunatelly, i have none whatsoever experience in that field.
Completely different area of study here, so without seeing at least
some code, I cannot comment anything on that part.

And 'a lot faster' is a very relative term.
