What is the reason for this difference?

Compiler optimization?  At least, a disassembly of similar code showed me
that that seemed to be the case.

The compiler can see that t is not used.  Try returning t, or copying t to
a global before you return from main.  That will make things closer I
think, but of course the first version will still run faster in the end.

(...) I should clarify that this is true for the first version only. For some reason, the compiler does not optimize the second version in the same way. Anyways, what I see in the disassembly for the first version is a loop to 100 inside a loop to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I did some experiments with floating point operations and I was surprised when I tried this: int main(){ long t1; int i,j; float t; t1 = sys_time; for(j=0; j<1000; j++){ t=0.06; for(i=0; i<100; i++){ t=1.7*t; } } lcd_int((sys_time - t1)/1000); (...)
