No need. Been done. Question answered long ago. You are beating a dead horse. We already know *exactly* what difference it makes - precious little. You want a machine that performs better? Stick in a disk drive with more cache memory. Instant improvement that will dwarf any change you could ever make with the compiler. Ever wondered why Ubuntu distributes 386 generic code? Because it makes no discernible difference whatsoever. But if you wanna go ahead and prove to yourself something that the toolchain world has know for like forever, then go ahead, don't let me stop you <shrug> -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
