Actually, in my benchmarks here, the same code tends to yield much faster executables under gcc3, particularly in C++. But these are limited benchmarks (primarily of KDE and my own applications). I'm willing to trade some time on the compile (which, with any luck, happens only once) in exchange for speed in the application (which I may use every day)! :-) -Cliff L.
