--- Comment #11 from Oleg Smolsky <oleg.smolsky at gmail dot com> 2011-08-26 00:48:02 UTC --- Also, I have just built the same suite with GCC version 4.7 that came from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.7-20110820/gcc-4.7-20110820.tar.bz2 and the performance degradation remains: gcc41: 0 "int8_t constant add" 1.35 sec 1185.19 M 1.00 gcc47: 0 "int8_t constant add" 2.37 sec 675.11 M 1.00 Note, these are original unmodified tests, not my digested derivatives
