I cannot predict this, though it would be great if somebody who does have both VS2003 and mingw could give it a try. What I did just post on another thread over the last couple of days is about MacOSX, which also uses gcc: 14% faster pybench using Python 2.4.3 under Win2000 under Parallels Workstation beta, compared to 2.4.3 Universal directly on MacOSX -- the standard build of 2.4.3 in either cause, i.e., the one built with MS compilers on Windows, vs the one built with Apple's gcc on MacOSX.
