I've compared gcc 2.95.3, gcc 3.0.1, icc 5.0 and icc 6.0. It turned out
that gcc 3.0.1 produced the fastest code. That's strange, because others
reported that the code by icc is significantly faster and also that
gcc 3.0 produces slower code than gcc 2.95. If someone can prove me
wrong, I would be pleased to get the compiler switches. Currently,
my guess is that the outcome depends on the processor. I'm using a
mobile Pentium III whereas the others used a Pentium 4.
