Does anyone have any benchmarks on the Intel Performance Toolkit C++
compiler that comes with vTune?  I have it here, and I've been
building 3.5 with it (note that that doesn't say anything about what
the final official version will be built with.)  If nobody has
benchmarks,  I might be persuaded to build an MS version and an Intel
version and compare, but I'd have to wait to do the tests because I
don't have a Pentium running Windows here at home (this box is a
K6/233.)
