2.96 (20000525) benchmarks


	Hello,

	Although I followed the development of egcs/gcc up to 2.95.2,
I had forgot it for a long time. I decided that it was time to check it up
again, so I downloaded latest from CVS and compiled it (with make
bootstrap). 

	It compiles flawlessly (even with CFLAGS=-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer)
but I have to say that I was badly surprise by the results.

	I compiled crafty both with 2.95.2 and with 2.96 (25-05-2000) and
run the benchmark command (I know this may be the worse benchmark ever
done by anybody but...)

	The results were:

gcc-2.95.2

Total nodes: 82884181
Raw nodes per second: 343917
Total elapsed time: 241
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 2.655602

gcc-2.96 (20000525)

Total nodes: 76470799
Raw nodes per second: 315995
Total elapsed time: 242
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 2.644628

	they correspond to crafty-17.10 compiled with

	-march=i686 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer

	I run it on a Dual PII 450 running 2.2.16-pre4 with 

	glibc-2.1.3
	binutils-2.9.5.0.41
	
	the only change from one version to the other was the -V 2.95.2
and the -V 2.96 specified to the gcc driver.

	I wonder if that is normal/expected or by the contrary I have made
some fatal error?

	Thanks and keep the good work, everybody is waiting for the 3.0 :-)

	- german
