Interesting... We have Intel on linux and my experience has been with C++ that it is slower than GCC, although it is quite good at optimizing Fortran. We have a cross-platform license for PGI, but don't get me started. > I've talked to Apple about this... and they don't understand either. > We first started investigating because Linux on the same machine was > twice as fast!

We have a cross-platform license for intel in the budget this year, so perhaps I will place a higher priority on it now. Doesn't matter much though, I've only got a lowly macbook pro and use it just for development. > Doesn't matter much though.
