It is the compiled code.

I know. Just wanted to point out that the results are sometimes worth of
waiting :) (No, I'm not a secret undercover MS agent)

This comparisson was supposed to be between gcc and egcs, I think. VC++
and the other one (Watcom?) were there just for reference. To be honest, I
didn't see any really BIG differences between the compiled code
performance when the 'optimal' (whatever that means here) optimization
flags were used.
