hello. Do you remember Thomas Djafari's test? It was a DCT compressor to
see the performance of different compilers. anyways, today I recompiled
the thingie and it was 2 times slower! After playing around with the
flags for a while, I realised it must be something else. The only thing
I changed were the binutils. So I do a test:
with -O6 -ffast-math -mpentium -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops
I get:
With BNU 2.7:
approx. 2939 million clocks compressing
approx. 2561 million clocks decompressing
With BNU 2.8.1 I get
approx. 3326 million clocks compressing
approx. 2965 million clocks decompressing
Why is this slower when using BNU2.8.1?? what are the new things
installed in it? 
TIA,
