Well, that's true if you spend most of your time waiting for the compiler to run, but when it takes longer to compile AND runs slower (http://www.cs.utk.edu/~rwhaley/ATLAS/gcc30.html) you lose on both counts! Anyone have good benchmarks to run to compare raw kernel performance to see how much using RedHat's recent (2.96) or 3.0 compilers to compile the kernel perform vs the older compilers? -Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
