I wonder if gfortran should check if -O and -O2 is given,
and then add -funroll-loop

If you work on a 32bit x86 system, you really should use -march=native
and possibly -mfpmath=sse - otherw

Column 5 compiled with -march=native -O2 -ffast-math

That's probably because a standard compile of the LAPACK sources only
compiles {S|D}LAM* with -O0.

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for the feedback! Very interesting.

That's a surprise to me. I have to say that the GCC community has done amazing
work, as you came within factor 1.4 (gfortran) and 1.6 (g++

Note that my questions arise in the context of automatic code generation:
