Yes, that makes sense because they (Intel) should know all the ins and
outs of
their own processor ;) Looking back through old posts to this newsgroup
there's
some indication that icc custom builds are just a tiny bit faster than gcc
builds. They're all so close to each other now that I'm not worried
about it.
I just didn't want people to get the impression that the 10% slower thing
bstone mentioned was universal. There's many factors involved beyond the
compiler used including type of processor.
