in other news, upcoming RV9 encoder DLLs (erv4.dll) will be compiled with the Intel Compiler (ICL) version 7.1, which we have now finally fully integrated in our build system. Previously, only certain files were compiled with this compiler, since MSVC 6.0 did not support the required inline asm code.

Since all CPU intensive code is already fully assembler optimized, the improvement is around 5%. Still, worth including, just by changing the compiler (anything to switch from [...])

There is also some good news about the RV9 encoder speed on new hyper-threaded CPUs from Intel, but more about that later.
