Although I don't know if the cost model is perfectly tuned for the Intel
Core2Duo, the particular instance of this PR has been fixed since a long time
(see pr34265 and pr50904), on trunk at r182043, I now get on a slightly faster
proc (2.5Ghz vs. 2.1Ghz):

[macbook] lin/test% time gfc -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops induct.f90
7.969u 0.101s 0:08.07 99.8%    0+0k 0+40io 0pf+0w
[macbook] lin/test% time a.out > /dev/null

[macbook] lin/test% time gfc -O3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops induct.f90 --param
min-vect-loop-bound=2
7.965u 0.110s 0:08.08 99.8%    0+0k 0+23io 0pf+0w

13.063u 0.027s 0:13.09 99.9%    0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

So I am closing the PR as fixed. Thanks for all the work leading to a nice
speed-up.

Okay, my mistake. It appears that the default builds for both
i386-apple-darwin* and x86_64-apple-darwin* are both leaving -mtune set at
generic. However it would be a nice aim for gcc 4.6.0 to have the processor
specific costs outperform the generic tuning when invoked.

I get the following from...

which shows that -mtune was set to generic for that release. I'll double check
with current gcc trunk but now suspect it has been changed to core2.

Nothing changed.  -march=native sets -mtune=core2 on my Penyrn as far back as
4.3, and you can see in PR44046 that Nehalem did the same before the patch.

------- Comment #2 from howarth at nitro dot med dot uc dot edu  2010-05-09 16:10 -------
It appears that r159202 (for gcc trunk) and r159203 (for gcc-4_5-branch) has
escalated this problem by defaulting some chipsets to the core2 tuning. PR34501
should be bumped to a P1 for both gcc trunk and gcc-4_5-branch to make sure it
gets fixed before the next releases. Otherwise users of Nehalem, Westmere,
Penryn and Merom class processors will find their default code generation
pessimized.
