For spam see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/10/storm_botnet_spam_economics/ * * * To have something less off topic: I find it quite interesting, how much the benchmark results between the same two compilers vary on different platforms. Compared with Absoft Fortran, GCC/gfortran 4.3 is by the following percentages slower: 0.2% 32bit on Vista64 on Intel XEON 21% 32bit on Vista AMD X2 6% 64bit on Linux64 on Intel XEON 16% 64bit on Linux64 on AMD X2 (http://www.polyhedron.com/compare0html) (See also "Errors on your web page" thread in gcc@/fortran@) While the bottleneck programs vary a lot, fatigue and gas_dyn are slow on all platforms (incl. on AMD Athlon64, where other compilers are up to almost twice as fast). If we are lucky, the middle-end array work by Richard plus the single-function-decl patch will fix that ... Tobias
