Hello, With pleasure i announce the results of gcc 3.1 versus microsoft visual c++ 6.0 sp4 processor pack. Till recently nothing kicked it at the K7, except intel c++ 5.01 (but newer editions of intel were way way slower than msvc). For DIEP gcc 3.1 is about 5% faster than msvc is. Note that msvc 6.0 sp4 + processor pack is about 2% faster than any other msvc version is for me (at least what everyone can get somehow in the shop + download). it's 2% faster than msvc 7.0 NET for example or msvc 6.0 sp5 procpack, because it seems the optimizations turned on in the processor pack for msvc 6 sp4 are not working for other service packs. Now a FREE compiler is faster, which is pretty shocking! Time to compiler my GUI for linux!
