We can argue about that, but I don't think so. I'm comparing a user can achieve without the patch with the performance they can achieve with the patch. On all chips, for all time, users have been expected to specify their target CPU in order to get good performance. It's swell that GCC 4.2 will work better by default on IA32, but that's not a compelling argument for a backport. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
