It might be all well and good for you, but since it isn't for most purposes, I would say that it isn't a fairly good job. I like gcc, and therefore I hope it will become better at generating code. In the 3.x branch there are some things that could end up making the compiler much better, but it isn't used optimally yet. The 3.1 release will be a lot better I think. I don't know what makes the difference from 5% to 30%. I use bitboards, so maybe MSVC is better with 64-bit integers than gcc? /David
