More CPU optimizations being done by GCC?
Just a guess really as this is not really my bag.

I look forward to trying these test on my Desktop (4400+ X2) and laptop
(Turion 1.6 GHz).

The old P4s were really slow, clock for clock they would get spanked by
regular X86 (aka P3 and AMD).  Fortunately netburst
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBurst) is now dead.
