Subject: GCC 3.1 fastest compiler at K7 !!

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!
