That's the same as trying to discredit results that show the msvc compiler is not fastest anymore. He seems to WORK daily onto the msvc compiler. Also we must take into account that usually a new released processor using a new compiler is doing better on specint programs usually. There is known an example recently where a FORTRAN program was speeded up a factor of 9 or something. It is impossible to lossless speedup DIEP 9 times at the same hardware. In fact 3.5% is nearly impossible. That's exactly what intel c++ did!
