Well it surprised me, although Manfred's results with VC6 on /MaxSpeed show
a similar margin. The real killer has to be that I wrote a CRC32 routine in
x86 inline assembler (which in comparison to the gcc-produced version stores
the CRC for each iteration in registers instead of in memory as part of the
current frame) which comes in at 6.5s....


Kind regards,

Mark.
