Believe me or not, MSVC generates even better code if you don't use the API.
BTW. I dont believe that the API knowledge helps in any case, but...

VC 6 is even better than the Intel 4.0 compiler with PIII optimization
enabled
in our testsuite (for integer, for FP Intel compiler seems to be faster).
So it might be a long way to beat VC :-(
