Quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics programs written in Fortran run
faster if compiled with ifort with respect to GNU compilers. As such
calculations (particularly the latter) may last days, if not weeks, I had to
turn to ifort, the trouble notwithstanding of having to rebuild everything when
advantages are offered by a new release. I would be happy if I could stick at
GNU.

In my original post I badly exemplified with icc. Actually, when a
computational program is written in C/C++ I never so benchmarks claiming
advantages of icc with respect to gcc. In my case, of Fortran-based programs
that also require a C/C++ compiler in the makefile or configuration file, I set
icc for homogeneity. It may well be that gcc would do the job as well.
