I'm interested in very carefully done benchmarks, ones that can be
repeated...

gcc-2.7.0 -O2 usually produces worse code than gcc-2.6.3 -O2 due to a
worse default for -fforce-mem flag.  Constants get loaded into registers
more.  On the i386, this usually wastes a little time to load the
constant and may waste a lot of time when it starves the register
allocator.
