I use the Intel compiler at work, but on a Wintel platform :(, and for some reason the V9 compiler, which has just been released, has slowed down. I have some code that runs fine built with a 8 year old M$ compiler but takes forever to run when built with the latest Intel compiler. Very frustrating.

Back to your original question, from what I've heard, the eventual goal is for drop in replacement of GCC but it still isn't quite there, or if you can get it to compile, it needs A LOT of fiddling with make files etc. Maybe try posting the question here:

It's the C++ forum on Intels site.
