Are you using the same compiler and flags?

The A8 FPU has hardware sqrt support in the FPU.  Given the difference
in your numbers I suspect the Starterware compiler maybe isn't using
that for some reason and is emulating sqrt with simpler FPU instructions.

...but that's just a guess.  Have you compared the actual code produced
for the loop by the two compilers?
