Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to use the (closed source) intel compiler? People used to say that it was faster than gcc but lately gcc has been catching up. I seem to recall reading that the benefit of using the intel compiler wasn't worth the effort anymore and that if you wanted to make your code run faster you should compile it against a lighter libc than glibc. But, again, for most people the benefit isn't worth the hastle.
