Hi
I am maitainer of www.gnu.cz. I have artice about GNU there with small 
comparsion benchmark of various compilers (gcc, wc, vc, plan9, bc etc...).
It uses ftp mandelbrot loop from my program. But I am still receiving
letters, that such bechmark is irrelevant, since it compares just very
small code and does not show anything. Only think I wanted to show whas,
that gcc is comparable with commercial compilers (and beat them all in
this particual case). But I must agree, that such small bechmark does
not show much. Do you have any good test for optimizer, that should
be used for such bechmark? Any ideas?
