Strange, I'm not able to reproduce your findings. I did found something rather odd though. I thought MSVC, ICL and GCC would produce the same files, but for some reason a GCC compile creates slightly smaller files. Looks like there is some GCC-specific code that influences compression ratio? I haven't noticed that in any of the tests I did before. GCC is a bit slower, but nowhere near 1.7x

Results are here: http://www.icer.nl/misc_stuff/compare-24-bit-speed-across-compiles.pdf

These results are from an MinGW compile (GCC 4.6.1 AFAIK), MSVC 2012 and ICL 13 compiles of FLAC 1.3.0 without any modifications. These are all 32-bit executables run on a 64-bit Windows 7 system. The graphs show encoding and decoding performance on Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (The Complete Recordings) in 44/16 and 48/24, and Nine Inch Nails' The Slip in 44/16 and 96/24. See the graph titles.
