David, the above premise that "gcc is almost always slower" is
just plain wrong. As long as you continue to make these unsubstantiated,
derrogatory statements, you will not get a lot of help from the GCC
developers.
If you have a critical function which performs array lookups and
integer arithmetic, then help us analyze the function to determine if GCC
is generating the optimal code it can produce.
