if you do it under linux, definitely go for the intel compiler.
for linux, it can be downloaded for free, and can be up to two times
as fast as gcc. (in our case, it mostly is [;-)] , though not for all
programs)

also, it has good support for exploiting sse extensions via intrinsics
and somtimes
even automatic sse generation.

i don't know wether its free for windows, though.
