We don't have systematic benchmarks. (Every once in a while we optimize
specific (new) algorithms and then move on.)
ifort generates much faster executables than gfortran (factor 3-5),
but in large part this is because the libc expf is almost amazingly
20 times slower than Intel's, as we found out recently.
Intel C++ is hardly faster (except g++ suffers from the same expf
problem, which we don't use much from C++).
