What XviD build faster for P4?

[Tima]

Hi!

Could anyone tell what XviD build is faster for P4 (Northwood): GCC, ICL 7.1 or ICL 8?

With best regards,
Tima.

How about you just test each one out and see? Not that hard to do.

Well, all else being equal, an ICL 8/8.1 compile will be faster on P4 CPUs than other compiles. Most likely not by much, but the Intel compiler almost always produces faster binaries for P4 than other compilers can.
