Hi All! The thread on C compiler speeds on another list got my attention to the Intel C/C++ compiler for Windows (trial) and Linux which is free for non commercial purposes, though unsupported. I'm wondering if someone used it to build Lua and if he/she notice any speed gain as it is optimized to Intel platforms. Unfortunately, I have no Linux machine yet... :( If any of you are interested, here are the links.
