It does, if I recall, have a nontrivial advantage in gcc compiling over the most highly clocked Pentium 4 (I may be recalling incorrectly). Hmmm. There is a MS VC++ benchmark out there. I think it might be part of Ziff-Davis' multiprocessor testing suite? I may be confusing my publishers, but I think the same suite has a "Microstation" benchmark or something like that. Anyway, the POV-Ray raytracer has a standard pov file that people use to test with that program (is called "povbench"). Maybe we should have somebody make some fairly complex source code, and we can use that as a common MSVC++ compiler standard. Do you have any source code that you'd like to donate, perhaps? I could easily get a whopping number of people (at least three, that is) to try this out with a messload of different system configurations. Hmmm. I might even get some people to test and see how the PIII, Athlon, Duron, and P4 perform in compiling with the Intel C++ plugin. For some reason, I'd like to see that.     -JC
