With GCC4.7 the benchmark score drops from ~400 Mflops to ~40 mflops. Almost 10 folds.

Prefecth instructions introduced in the innermost loops of "FFT_transform_internal" ( FFT.c ) in GCC4.7 but not in GCC4.6 which is causing the slow down. 

Compiling this function alone as a separate test case with -fno-prefetch-loop-arrays brings back the original score.
