I reran GMPbench with current head repo sources and got a surprise.
There is a large leap in performance for AMD K10, and nice improvements
for a lot of other CPUs as well, compared to GMP 5.0.
AMD K10 went from 2985 to 3500 with improvements at every measured
point.
The thing is that I am not sure which changes has made such a great
difference. Anyway, great work by somebody!
See: http://gmplib.org/gmpbench.html
The one sad part is that K10 is being discontinued, with Bulldozer as
suggested replacement. Its score is about 660 per GHz, while K10's is
almost 1100...
