in reply to Perl with internal Benchmark/Profiler

When I did something like this, I found that turning off threads and debugging (not the perl debugger, but debugging perl itself) made a big diference, and using the Intel compiler made a pretty big one too.

    I can confirm that tendency (from the impressions so far). But my intention is now to get some numbers to get a quantitative statement. Unfortunately, the Intel compiler performs far worse on 64bit Architectures than other options.

    Could you please elaborate some HowTo use the icc? After extensively using perlbench, I came to the conclusion that gcc 4.x sucks and tried icc. Unfortunately, I'm getting lots of these: 
    icc -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \
    miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc

      Here is a message I sent to the mod_perl list with my results from the test.

      Sorry, I didn't have any trouble compiling with it so I can't tell you what the issue is. I was using a 32-bit processor -- Pentium 4, I think.
