Is there any advantage to using these compilers over GCC? What performance gain can I expect? And more on topic: the dual 3.2 GHz irwindales run like a charm. I think=20 that installing my entire system from stage 1 to full gnome took=20 approximately 5 hours in compile time. ------=_Part_6399_2657053.1126826828920 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline
