On a WWW Server I found a Pentium patch (gcc-2.7.2-2.7.2p-pl6.diff) for gcc 2.7.2. My experience with dhrystone 2.1 are, that FreeBSD's gcc 2.6.3 is a bit faster .... about 163000 Dhrystones with gcc 2.6.3 and "only" 161000 dhrystones with the patches gcc 2.7.2 ... poor result. Other experiences ? Or is this a special case ? In a local newsgroup of my ISP I found a pointer to the WWW site with the patch which also said, that it brought about +10% on a Linux System... The author didn't say, what application he used for testing. I currently waiting for a reply via e-mail.
