So 11 programs get's faster and one is slower. Good to know.

I found this link also interesting:
http://www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC/

Suse checks out daily the gcc from cvs and compiles the spec test with it.

I came to the following preliminary findings:
1) In order of performance from low to high for Crafty we have:
   GCC 2.95, 3.0, 3.1

2) Probably the fastest compiler for Crafty is not GCC 3.1.
On http://www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC/CINT/d-permanent/index.html
 a compiler peaked above 600 once. I have no idea if this compiler did produce
valid results.

3) The following GCC-flags seems work best for Crafty:
   -O2 -march=athlon -fomit-frame-pointer

4) On http://www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC/CINT/d-permanent/index.html it look likes the
performance goes down for Crafty each release
