Hello: Today on the Linux newsgroups, I saw a post where someone found a modified version of gcc - i2.6.3. He said it was simple to compile on his Linux box, and his system ran noticeably faster. It would be really cool if FreeBSD had this compiler since it contains the ability to do -pentium optimizations. Intel released a hacked verison of gcc a while back (i2.4.0) that contained much of the Proton compiler optimizations. Proton is the Intel reference compiler. They were noticing around 25% speedup at that time. Unfortunately, they broke a few things in that version, and the changes were not (to my knowledge) folded into the general gcc release. Someone else must be maintaining a parallel source tree. Anyway, I'm just scouting around for info since I saw the post. I asked the poster where he got the compiler. -Clint
