Only in the FP code.
3.0.3 fixes number of FP issues, but the compariosns are still quite balanced.
You may take a look at www.suse.de/~aj/SPEC for SPEC results - the 3.0.x is at
average better than 2.95 in both SPECint and SPECfp.  There are however important
problems with scheduling on some numeric code, mainly Atlas.  They are partly
tracked down in 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. 3.0.0 additionally had problem with stack
missalignment caused due to glibc2 misscompiled by buggy 2.95 stack alignment
code distributed by most of major distros.
