Re: [gentoo-dev] gcc 2.95.3 / 3.0.4 speed comparsion

[Bart Verwilst <verwilst@gentoo.org>]

Oh, and euhm..
What about this?: 
http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#optimizing

If gcc itself is optimised with for example '-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer',
won't that make it faster than gcc 2.95.3? :o)
Just taking wild guesses here :o)

See ya
