No, as I said, I try to remain unburdened by facts when I make pronouncments. I do recall that the benchmarks I saw were against 2.95, and that the theory was that the intel compilers made heavy heavy use of the P3 and aboves SSE registers ( floating point computations? anyone? ).
not sure if gcc 3.0 delves more into the SSE realm or not, but I remember that 2.95 largely did not.
