An it compiles even faster on bcc55! Actually, VC6 compiler is dog-slow in 
comparison to bcc55.

gcc 3.0 became slow in comparison to gcc 2.95.x, but it's getting a bit faster 
with each minor release so far, so it indicates a good trend methinks. And 
gcc 3.2 generates really good code. If you turn of all optimizations, you'll 
get the same bad code that msvc gives you, but it should go faster. The 
choice is yours. -O2 is not without cost.
