------- Comment #43 from dank at kegel dot com 2007-11-28 18:01 ------- Of the results posted above, the only interesting one that is still slower than gcc-2.95 is a pentium 3 with -fPIC. (Happily, gcc-4.3 is an improvement there, but it's still worse than 2.95.) Oddly, this one does better with athlon-xp tuning.
