Adrian Howard has just pointed out to me that McPOPLOG was being compared
with version 11 Poplog. The McPOPLOG paper is dated as being received
early 1988.

PS. Here's the reference Adrian sent me ...

4. CONCLUSION
End of first para.
"We have found that the timings depend on the percentage of calls of
standard and user-defined procedures. As a result of the comparison of
both actual implementations of POPLOG (McPOPLOG, version 1.2, and Sussex
POPLOG, version 11) we have found out that the McPOPLOG is about 3 times
faster in compilation and twice as fast in execution"
