We have used pgcc-2.95.3 on Athlons with great success (35% or more
compared to gcc). We work on simulations on Statistical Physics and other
number-crunching Condensed Matter stuff (lot of matrix operations, etc.)
Actually pgcc-2.95.3 is as good as Agcc (Athlon specific patch) that
appeared recently on Freshmeat.
