Ali,

<The last think I care about is the test of how well either side is able to optimize the compiler for a synthetic benchmark.>

You are incorrect. The SPEC is not a synthetic by
any means. It is a set of _scientific_ applications,
in the same way as BAPCO is a set of _business_
apps.


How about half-incorrect. The compiler games make this benchmark less than credible.
