only media seemed to be really bad, without that it was at
most 25% slower, which isn't too terrible considering the
same scene was faster on other systems, and will in any
case have a significant speedup on multiple CPUs.

Also, the README in the beta sources mentioned you used
the Intel compiler for 3.6 but not for 3.7, which makes
it hard to compare the speed with respect to actual code
changes. I'd expect icl to give better results than cl,
especially on Intel CPUs like mine ;)
