Hi folks,

(newbee, forgive my ignorance ... trying to gain some insight ... )

I have general compiler questions following on a thread in -current 
after the import of 3.2.2.  One poster suggests icc for p4 target 
compatibility over gcc32.

I have no specific need (i.e., no particular program to optimize) I'm 
just curious as to which compiler would be preferable for general 
performance on 5.0-RELEASE.  Can icc buildworld/kernel an ports for 5.0? 
  If it can, would it make a performance difference for a desktop 
configuration of 5.0 (world, kernel+modules, X, moz, gnome and/or KDE, 
multimedia playback, OO)?

Thanks

/Paul
