Comment pgcc and kernel 2.2 even faster (Score 1) 285
Using the BYTE benchmark program on a 2.2 kernel compiled with gcc, and another one compiled with pgcc. The 10 % number increase was the average on FPU operations, on Integer operations the performance increase was slightly lower.
Of course this was on the specific case of the AMD K6 processor, I don't know if the same percentage could be applied to other cpu's, although I think that the optimizations should even work better on pentium II and on the Pentium Pro using the -march option.
