Hi, I am writing a paper about instruction-set architecture simulators. In first time, I used gcc-4.4.0 and the compilation time reached 33 minutes (with -O3) for my simulator and the performance reached 270 MIPS (Million instruction per second). When I used the gcc-4.4.4, in the same code, the compilation time reached 39 seconds and the performance reached 600 MIPS. My code have many "switchs" with 512 "cases" and the library <systemc.h> is in use. How to explain this behavior in the compilation and performance in my paper?
