I don't really have a way to compare the two executables, but it is
generally possible to get 10% with processor-specific optimizations.
MSVC seems quite good, so it might do this well or better.

I don't know which fits a PII best, unfortunately...

And be aware that it is possible that the P6 version won't run on a P5
or any machine without the conditional move instruction.  P6's have it,
P5's don't.  I don't know about the PII...
