Go up one level in this thread


This might be a little silly but interesting to check out. If the MS compilers
do produce faster code, then it would be interesting to see the speed
difference.
Even if wine added 1-2% speed deduction, if the code generated was 10% faster,
you'd still have an 8% faster program than the natice gcc builds.

I doubt this is the case, but if it is, wouldn't it be funny if people started
compiling their engines in Windows to use in linux lol.

Either way, it'll be an interesting test for the weekend.
