Bug#102193: gcc-3.0: compiled code with gcc 3.0 is slow and big :-(

[Gabor Lenart <lgb@vega.digitel2002.hu>]

Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I'm Gabor Lenart from Hungary and we're developing a movie player software
for Linux. We tried to compile and benchmark mplayer (our player) with both
of gcc 3.0 and gcc 2.95. We found out that gcc 3.0 produces SLOWER and BIGGER
code than 2.95. Is it normal? If it is, I will refuse to use gcc 3.0 since
I need maximum speed, since on my AMD K6-2 DVD playback is a very CPU
sensitive situation.

Bye, Gabor
