Yes, gcc 3.4 produces much better code than 3.3 when optimizing with -march=opteron. I have seen speedups of up to +40% in some benchmarks by just recompiling with gcc 3.4. | However!

My conclusion is not supposed to be a rational technical conclusion, it is more a personal opinion (I am working on other amd64 papers).
