gcc3.2 vs gcc2.95 - devolution never stops

[Dockeen]

I think I mumbled something about this a few months ago.
I found that the execution speed for an imaging program
that we work on in our shop went up by a noticable amount,
anywhere from 15% - 25%

Because I am not compiling a ton of SLOC, the increased 
compile time was not a big deal.  I can see (and have 
read) where it is for people pushing a lot of SLOC.

One nice thing about the 3.1+ family of gcc is that you
can set flags for optimization for the P3 and P4 processors.
(Yep, Intel around our shop).  This helps the speed.

The code passed my regression testing...

The increased exe file size was there, stripping brought it 
back close to where it was before.

Have a good night,

Wayne Keen
