I regret to say that I can't reproduce my initial result showing 9%
improvement on 3.2.0rc1 against 3.0.4. Both versions show the same speed

I also compared 3.0.4 against trunk in another environment:
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-1014-gcp x86_64)
cpu model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU @
With your permission I'd like to use this project as part of my work to

Hm, for me the new compiler produces slightly slower results. The
difference is tiny, but consistent. I use my raytracing benchmark from here:

The results on my AMD Ryzen 3700X are:
FPC 3.0.4: 3.984 seconds
FPC 3.2.0RC1: 4.047 seconds
