------- Comment #11 from jhopper at safe-mail dot net 2009-07-30 04:24 ------- forgot to mention executable sizes: all tested gcc versions 4.2 4.3 and 4.4 were 100kb, intel executables were 68 and 72 kb respectively (version 10, 11).
executable size in memory (both VIRT and RSS) did not change between versions (the program is very small) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35671
