compiling bootstrap v2.95.3 took me 2-3 times less then v3.2 :(
(cause it uses itself to compile itself)

Hi,
I've done some quick comparson between 2.95.3 and brand-new 3.2 version.
Note, that 3.2 supports pentium4 target/optimization, so it should result
better code - in theory.
System: 1.8ghz p4, 512mb rd800 ram, i850, abit th7-ii raid mb, ibm 80g hdd
MPlayer: CVS version, almost every auto-detectable option present and
detected
2.95.3 compilation time: (./configure;time make)
real 2m0.673s
user 1m51.150s
sys 0m8.550s
(repeated to verify results - error under 1%)
3.2 time: (./configure --cc=gcc-3.2;time make)
real 3m1.728s
user 2m49.810s
sys 0m10.930s
so, about 50% slower. ok, we hope the result will be faster so it does
worth it. (gcc 2.95.3 -march & -mcpu was i686, 3.2's was pentium4,
both auto-selected by ./configure)
File: /3a/MPlayer/benchmark/testsuite2/Star_Wars_Episode_1.avi
VIDEO: [DIV3] 720x576 24bpp 25.00 fps 1858.5 kbps (226.9 kbyte/s)
gcc 2.93.5 : 22.070 : 21.985 : 22.038
gcc 3.2 : 22.328 : 22.354 : 22.370
-> slower at high bitrate
File: /3a/MPlayer/benchmark/testsuite2/405divx_sm_v2[1].avi
VIDEO: [DIV3] 356x240 24bpp 30.00 fps 343.0 kbps (41.9 kbyte/s)
gcc 2.93.5 : 4.054 : 4.052 : 4.072
gcc 3.2 : 4.062 : 4.042 : 4.086
-> ~ same at low bitrate
File: /3a/MPlayer/benchmark/testsuite2/sample.light.it.up.avi
VIDEO: [DIV3] 640x352 24bpp 23.98 fps 823.5 kbps (100.5 kbyte/s)
gcc 2.93.5 : : 3.983 : 3.953 : 3.949
gcc 3.2 : : 4.086 : 4.045 : 4.050
-> bit slower at middle bitrate
I'm just wondering why do people prefer teh slow buggy 3.x series over the
good old, working 2.95.3 ?
Oh, i've found it!!!

3.2 produces 3% smaller (stripped size) binary :)
