gnubg might be about 10% faster if compiled with icc. At least, that's
my guess based on comparisons of chess engines compiled with icc
versus gcc.
If I get a chance this weekend maybe I'll do an actual test.

Has anyone ever looked into alternate compilers (such as those sold
by Intel)? Is there an ethical/principled issue against using non-
OpenSource? The goal would be increased speed due to better
optimization, etc. For example, I believe the *Intel® C++ Compiler
Professional Edition for Linux* *has a free trial download and
academic price around $170. (~$2k commercial license).
