iX, issue 11/2001 on page 70 lists these three:

icc -O2
icc -O2 -xW
icc -O2 -tpp7
icc -O2 -xW -ipo

Unfortunately, i don't know anything about the Intel compiler or its options
as I never used it myself, but these parameters are a good hint I think.

BTW, the iX article is much more informative and technical than a similar
article in c't at about the same time, which is very interesting as apparently
they wrote those article independently.  This is strange as iX and c't are
still in the same office and have the same publisher...
