    Depends on what you're testing. If I could still run DOS I'd do some benchmarks for you, and since GCC 3 is next to impossible to get running under Windows (any GCC people reading this, your Windows support needs a bit of work) it's not really a fair comparison.

    The last version of GCC that I've seen available for Windows (Dev-C++, Cygwin, etc.) is 2.96, which is severely lacking behind v3 in terms of optimisation potential, which is being worked on heavily in the current releases.
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".
