<< Which is pretty good, though of course I'm sure this is dependent on Intel's latest, greatest special spec optimizing compiler that's useless for anything else.

I find it amusing that people complain about optimizations for the chip. Let's face it, no one cares if it's clock for clock slower on today's software. Today's software runs on a p3 500. Tomorrow's software will be optimized for the p4, and if the optimizations make it clock for clock faster, then it is a huge success.
