   GCC has gone through a major overhaul starting with version 4.0.  It now   
   support Fortran 95, vectorization, OpenMP and several high-level loop   
   optimizations.  It still needs work in scheduling and register   
   allocation, but there is work underway in those areas as well.   
      
   That being said, we have not yet covered the gap completely in terms of   
   floating point performance.
