No problem. It was funny for me.

I'm especially interested how it compares to gcc (on a P4 and perhaps on
the Athlon).

The -x parameter for icc doesn't always helps. It depends on the
application. You may try to use some variations of -xiMKW (-xi, -xiM,
-xM, -xiMK, ...). -parallel and -mt may be of use too (and the obvious
parameters like -ipo, -tpp7, -O too).

This sounds like nice toys... icc also produces fast code for the Athlon
(-tpp6).
