I'm using the SH7045F Hitachi microprocessor witch is a SH2 series. So I use
the -m2 options in gcc compiler.
I think the performance difference is because the math library (especially
float library) is wrote in C source coce in gcc and in assembly in other
commercial compilers.
Whath do you think about ?
