But did you say I can mix the usage of Intel compiler and Visual C >compiler? How does this happen? Compile the modules first with Microsoft C++. Then, select the Intel C++ compiler and compile the modules one by one, linking each time and performing a benchmark. Also, using profile guided optimization, you can create a linker order response file with the Intel compiler. This file often helps the Microsoft compiler create a faster binary, sometimes dramatically so.
