Hi
I'm seeing significant improvements when compiling a VM with GCC 4.1 over the stock Unix VMs. They are almost too good to be true.
stock 3.9-9 vm, GCC 4.0.3: 56437389 bytecodes/sec; 2609047 sends/sec
compiled with GCC 4.1.1: 113676731 bytecodes/sec; 4011617 sends/sec
That is about twice as many bytecodes/sec and about 50% more sends/sec. Can that be?
Cheers Philippe
