improving speed
Along these lines, I'd like to see C++ about 4x faster. I'd be happy
with 2x faster[1], anything less, well, isn't interesting. I'd like
for the SC to find and appoint such a person to tackle speed problems.
So far, it isn't happening...
1 - Assumes no regressions...
C++ has been improved for 3.4 compared to even 2.95.3. One we are more
standards
complaint. Two, speed also has decreased (at least in the last three
days, mostly thanks
to Jan Hubicka). Optimization speed has also decreased also. Looks
like you are
volunteering for the position of speeding up C++.
Thanks,
