This really intrigues me because I was just catching up on the list
and looking for refs to gcc.  I am trying to run the PDP10 
simulators on netbsd/alpha with a 164/500.  This puppy screams on
anything tht does not use gcc.  With the lack of an alignment 
capability for the alpha - and I have looked and looked but not
found it but I could be wrong - I am getting perf that is 
consistent with your bench marks.  The Linux on alpha folks are 
getting phenomenal perf.
thanks
