	Nope it's the opposite: "Running time in seconds" so the bench runs
faster with the last gcc.

It was rendering time in seconds - and you probably want shorter
rendering times, right? :-)

I find it amusing that Intel's compiler is beaten by GCC on P4, while
the reverse is true on Athlon. They should call it the "Intel C Compiler
for AMD processors"...

  Probably the Intel's own compiler, which should know how to best optimize
for Intel's processors.

This is under Linux, of course.  It may just be a library issue that doesn't
exist under Windows.  gcc surely is not such a good compiler...

What are the results of the Windows version on the same system?

How about adding any one of these: "-ipo", "-wp_ipo", "-prefetch", "-rcd"?

Yes. It's the intel C++ for Linux. A non-commercial unsupported version is 
available for linux free of charge at
http://www.intel.com/software/products/eval/
(You can get a 30-day evaluation version for Linux and Windows, too.)

I'm sorry. Windows isn't installed on any of these computers. (Well, to be 
completely honest, there is Vmware running Windows NT4 on the Athlon, but 
IMHO a benchmark of this won't tell us anything.)

From my experience with POV-Ray 3.5 the Windows version on VMWare runs
usually faster than the gcc linux version.  I have not made comparison
tests between plain Windows and emulated Windows but there does not seem
to be that much difference.

This is povray.unix, so who cares how ICC performs on Windows? Get a
real operating system. :-)

Anyway, AFAIK ICC doesn't include a C library, so they use the same
libraries.
