Obviously that requires gcc 3.1, but even the msvc compiled executable (which is already way faster than the intel one) is going to kick butt here i guess, despite that it has no K7 optimizations and no branch prediction reordering pass (already only the branch prediction reordering is like 12.5% extra speedup for DIEP, even if it's less for crafty, DO THE MATH).
