Whee!  Benchmarking is fun!  Those are interesting numbers, but can this
really be telling us that compiling with threads gives better
performance?  I guess we need to isolate that one option to get the
answer.

It was just pointed out to me by Sam Tregar that perlbench is heavy on
math, and therefore not representative of what most of us do in our
apps.  It looks like you can replace the stock tests with your own, and
I'd like to try it with a test that selects something from a database
and runs it through a template.  Sam also pointed out that the Intel
compiler has a free evaluation download...

When I get a little time,.I'll give these a shot.
