Personally, but I'm not an expert, I find it hard to believe that MSVC  
produces code that's so crappy that gcc breezes past it by a factor of 2.  
So assuming that Rob prefers to live in VisualStudio land, I think it  
might be useful maybe to ask around on squeak-dev to see whether anyone  
knows what the best MSC options are - there must be something obvious  
that's missing...
