I ran spec95 against egcs-1.0.1 on a Pentium II and got essentially identical numbers as gcc-2.7.2.3. This doesn't surprise me, but as a sanity check, is this what you guys saw? Do you know better options than just -O? I did some searching a while back with gcc-2.7.2 and -O was pretty much the only helpful option. http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lindahl/spec/ Thanks. -- g
