GCC 4.1.0 has been released

For fun, I benchmarked four versions of GCC (including 4.1.0) on the graphics-rendering portion of my Intellivision emulator, running on an Opteron 246. Here's how they stacked up:

GCC 4.1.0: 72.7 µsec (baseline)
GCC 3.4.4: 75.7 µsec (4% slower)
GCC 4.0.1: 81.5 µsec (12% slower)
GCC 3.3.5: 85.2 µsec (17% slower)

Looks like 4.1.0's taken back some of the performance that 4.0.x lost as GCC transitioned over to the new GIMPLE-based representation.
