did you use profiling with ICC?
it makes povray run about 15-25% faster (forgot the exact figures).

for gcc profiling does not seem to help much with povray. 

I use these...

-tpp6 -O3 -xi -restrict -long_double -ipo -ipo_obj -unroll
  -prof_dir /tmp/iccprof -pc80

-prof_genx and -prof_use are the profiling options,
docs tell how to use 'em.

IIRC, Intel offers a trial version download of ICC, and the Linux version is
free (I think).  So you might want to see if it isn't only a problem of bad
compilers...

That list looks quite realistic now.  I miss the MSVC megapov verstion
though.

http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/ --> All version are 
with a price tag. There is the evaluation version, though, for thirty days.

No. I used official binaries. I do not think I can use profiling over ready
binaries. I need recompile them with profiling settings which changes sense of
testing official binaries.

If you look at the evaluation version for Linux, you discover the free
unsupported version for uncommercial use:
http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/clin/noncom.htm
I agree however that Intel has gone a good job in hiding this gift.

Great, thanks. I thought I had browsed all the links, but apparently not :)

I think there is a payment for full Linux version but I have Intel compiler in
plans. But having two active children can't test more than one compiler per
month. I leaved those with trials for the end because evaluation times cause I
should have testing enviroment ready and tested then.

BTW, Thorsten this is off topic but that ASCII table I made in this thread
doesn't work on www. Horizontal line is visible when you quoted me at
http://news.povray.org/3e64640e%241%40news.povray.org
but disappear in my originall post
http://news.povray.org/ou566vgg0gqih2vvlsovillshbf09t7r4g%404ax.com
That's not important but can be unexpected. As well as why dot is entity.

Of course! Seems like Intel doesn't advertise it, but for POV-Ray is is
acceptable:

Yes, that is normal.  It is mistaken for an attachment separator in munpack
:-(
