I *highly* doubt that when "native port == MSVC". MSVC handily beats
gcc on spec and is nearly as fast as icc. I know, it is benchmarks,
damn benchmarks and lies, but my personal experience matches that.
MS's compiler group has a lot of high carat people and while
performance of VC6 was terrible loads of things have changed in the
last decade :). VS 2005 and higher have loads of tools that are well
integrated and IMHO not found anywhere else in such a high degree of
integration and consistency.
