3.6 uses the Intel compiler and additionally run-time profiled
optimizations. 3.7 is built using the Microsoft compiler and no RTPO.

At the moment (in fact for the last two years at least) it's not been
possible to successfully build with the Intel compiler due to compiler bugs
(crashes) Intel appear unable or unwilling to fix.

The result is unfortunately a slower program.
