Re: SSE2 recompile

Recompiling for SSE2 is tedious, though it is intended to be easier than hand coding assembly. SSE2 is of no benefit without source code changes. The compiler generates no SSE2 for standard C code. The programmer must use special Intel-defined data types and intrinsic macro functions recognized only by the Intel C compiler (and Microsoft is you add the processor pack option). This is true for MMX and plain SSE as well.

By the way the November 20 Information Week has an Athlon advertisement, two full pages.

Re: "Flask in its current form is compiled with a extremely outdated (and unoptimized) compiler which could explain the big performance jump with a new compiler, even with Athlon. IMO it's not a good benchmarking tool since it's from a hobby programmer with limited sources."

I'll bet you thought it was a pretty good tool when Uberclockermeister used it to show how slow the Pentium 4 could be on "non-optimized" versions.
