Hi zooko,

I should not be suprised, but it kind of caught me off guard that:

1) VC++ and gcc were about 17% slower than Intel's compiler
2) gcc was lagging VC++

>From the paper:
The experimental results showed that Intel's C++ compiler produces by
far the most optimized code for all ciphers tested. Second and third
place goes to Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 and gcc 4.1.2, which generate
code which is roughly 16.5% and 17.5% slower than that generated by
Intel's compiler.
