Basically, all I did was use the default switches in the VC workspace and
added /QaxiM (so in the MSVC makefile, there was only difference, I never
even looked at it though), I wasn't sure what else to add, I went to Intel's
web page and looked at a list of all of the switches, but wasn't sure what
else to use. I tested both versions (VC and IC) with 7 or 8 different mp3s,
all produced the same output, byte-for-byte, but those are just the files I
tested (Goldie & Adam F, drum & bass). Maybe there are cases where the IC
will screw it up, but so far I never noticed a difference.

http://www.geocities.com/archie69bj, I noticed that they run 10-15% faster
on 2000 than with ME, it's nice. I also screwed around and added a version

My experiences with the Intel compiler are, that you can tune
it to produce faster code, but I had often a version that
screwed down the quality. If you found some interesting working
compile switches, maybe you will share them with us?
By the way, the switches in Makefile.MSVC are tuned for my
Pentium MMX.
