If I were to do these timing tests with these compilers and with different gcc versions (2.95.3, 3.0.4 and 3.1) which script/program should I use to get a fair estimate of the compiler? Also, in INSTALL, it says * The GNU C compiler gcc is recommended, as the bytecode interpreter takes advantage of gcc-specific features to enhance performance. What is the nature of these optimizations?
