Intel will be offering it's Intel C/C++ Compiler for Linux starting late next month (May) as a beta test. The currently available compilers for Linux are very lacking in optimizations compared to what's available in Windows. Gcc/g++ haven't had any remarkable processor optimizations added since the Pentium was introduced. This compiler will finally allow full optimizations for all CPUs, including the Pentium 4, for applications built in Linux. This includes the kernel itself.
