Does anybody have a statistic about how much performance is gained by using Intel Compiler and Intel tools, than MSVS 2005? Also if I pay big bucks and hire some experts to rewrite some portions of the GMP and MPFR (only a small portion that is related to my project, to make the whole thing manageable) in a Intel platform optimized Assembly language. Will that improve speed a lot? Please shed some lights on me!  Thanks a lot <div>On 12/31/06, Patrick Pelissier <<a href="mailto:patrick.pelissier@gmail.com">patrick.pelissier@gmail.com </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> I am wondering if there is a platform optimized version of gmp for the Intel > architecture?
