fortran 4.0 shows perfomance regression (with -O2 option) in comparison with
g77 from 3.4.2 on IA32 with attached test. This test is obtained from
cpu2000/mgrid test.
It consists of calling of two functions: PSINV and RESID.
Instrumental control (gprof) shows that most part of time spends in RESID
function.
There is one strange thing for me. If I remove call of PSINV function test
(compiled by g77) became more slowly then it was before (with this call).
gfortran from gcc4.0 behave more predictable.
It looks like g77 from gcc 3.4.2 does interprocedure optimization for better
cache using which can't do gfortran from gcc4.0
You can reproduce my results with attached test.
