No, I used up my free 30 days earlier this year. The program compiled (while finding a few bugs, actually!) but ran about 30% *slower* than before. I didn't find it worth use the remaining days to try to find out exactly *why*, so I don't know how much it could have been tweaked. >The previous release i did not have any problems with but it was >generating slower code as visual c++ 6.0 did (but only 1% slower so >quite fast actually as no other compiler was getting close to that). > >Note also the SP5 of visual c++ didn't improve for me speed of visual c++ 6.0 >instead it creates a bit bigger executable but the speed of it isn't any >faster! It was mostly 3 years worth of collected bug fixes and some Win2K adjustments. I believe the MS compiler team is putting most of their efforts on the .NET shit instead. Probably not of much use to chess programmers. :-( >Best Regards, >Vincent Bo Persson bop@malmo.mail.telia.com
