Compilers Mature For Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge, Prep For Haswell

The Gcrypt performance with the CAMELLIA256-ECB cipher is suffering from a performance regression on GCC 4.7-20120107.

The TTSIOD performance was also set back by a small margin.

The NAS Parallel Benchmarks are written in Fortran and take advantage of OpenMP. With all of these NASA-created tests, GCC 4.7-20120107 on the Intel Core i7 3960X Sandy Bridge Extreme Edition is performing measurably faster than the current stable 4.6.2 release.
