As can be seen from the results, amd64 is more sensitive to register allocator changes than i386. Not really surprising to me. Would be interesting to see how this affects PPC/Sparc/Mips, but we don't have appropriate hardware available right now. Anyone with appropriate hardware and some spare time? :-) Benedikt -- Caml-list mailing list.
