Also, note that I've had issues with icc generating really fast but inaccurate code (fp model is not IEEE *by default*, I am sure _everyone_ knows this and I am stating the obvious here).

All modern, high-performance compilers default that way. It's certainly
the case that sometimes it goes more horribly wrong than necessary, but
I wouldn't ding icc for this default. Compare results with IEEE mode.

Guess gcc isn't part of that gang. I haven't had the chance to play with the commercial compilers other than icc. ;)
