Hi there,

has anybody any experience with the Intel C++ for Linux compiler ? I
mean, using it both for compiling packages, and for kernel compiling.

According to some sources available on the net, the code seems to be 20
to 30 % better on i386 machines... Could be worth trying ?

PS : of course, I know this compiler is not portable ! :)
