Don't use -O3 , its *worse* than -O2, and somewhere between -Onot and -O iirc, ghc -O2 -funbox-strict-fields -fvia-C -optc-O2 -optc-ffast-math -fexcess-precision Are usually fairly good. > OCaml 3.10.0: 14.158s ocamlopt -inline 1000 ray.ml -o ray > g++ 4.1.3: 8.056s g++ -O3 -ffast-math ray.cpp -o ray > > Also, the benchmarks and results that I cited before are more up to date than > the ones you're using.
