I am looking for a porting guide that can help explain some of the issues in 
porting code from Alpha NT to Intel NT?

My Customer has recompiled their application from an Intel Vis C++ code base
to 
Alpha with Risc Vis C++. On an Intel Pentium Pro 200 the test ran in 20 
seconds. On the Alpha ev5 433 it ran in 2 minutes. They strapped on
performance 
monitor and they are seeing 600,000 alligment fixups per second. I am also 
worried that they are using floating point emulation and having problems in 
the FP area.
