Thanks for the reply Nathan.

I have attached an archive with the test case code. The code is built by
build.sh and outputs the number of microseconds to complete the
processing.

Compiling with GCC version "4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)" produces
code that runs in about 66% of the time than does GCC version "4.3.0
20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)"

Thanks

Corey
