At a P3 even the gcc compiler is not measurable faster much,
but the real difference happens on the k7. It seems to me
that the intel guys of course didn't improve their compiler
for the AMD processor. Instead it's only optimized for P4.
Not even for P3 they achieve the best possible results,
as GCC proves.

I am under the impression that gcc simply is so fast for
me simply because of better profiling capabilities.

It increases speed by over 20%.
