Not sure if this is replaced by something else in the recent gccs.

Ouch. No way to fix that?

Ok, I hacked the assembly by hand, and this is what I got: All numbers are user times in seconds for gforth-fast-0.6.2: Pentium-4 2.26 GHz (i386 code): no-dynamic no-super dynamic combined? yes no yes no yes no siev 0.47 0.49 0.36 0.36 0.33 0.33 bubble 0.81 0.81 0.52 0.53 0.47 0.47 matrix 1.03 1.01 0.30 0.30 0.36 0.35 fib 0.70 0.68 0.75 0.60 0.53 0.58 Opteron 2GHz (i386 code): no-dynamic no-super dynamic combined? yes no yes no yes no siev 0.46 0.47 0.37 0.36 0.33 0.32 bubble 0.73 0.74 0.50 0.51 0.50 0.51 matrix 0.93 0.95 0.35 0.34 0.31 0.32 fib 0.63 0.64 0.49 0.50 0.44 0.45 "No-super" performs the same number of indirect branches (and anything else) as "no-dynamic", but has better branch prediction. "Dynamic" is like "no-super", but eliminates many of the indirect branches. So, overall the instruction combination alone does not make much of a difference on these CPUs. - anton -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15242
