It will catch up :-) On a side note, it seems the tests were run with gcc 3.4. IIRC, gcc 4 and beyond introduced a couple of interesting optimizations so I wonder how far do those go towards narrowing the gap.

I would love to see better numbers for g++.

Building a later G++ under cygwin is pretty easy if you know what to do. That's how I stay abreast of G++ developments. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
