Try using the Intel compiler suite.
It is a lot more than just a gcc equivalent.

"Intel's compiler cripples code on AMD and VIA chips". I'm not sure how much this affects normal home users, but it explains why my first ever attempts at compiling HPC code a couple of years ago are better than someone with loads of experience on another site with new hardware's attempts. We use Intel Harpertowns & Clovertowns, they use Opterons... |

They can compile stuff that other compilers can't and will often create quicker executables. Although sometimes they can be a pain, here's some fun I had last year trying to get some Bioinformatics software running in parallel! |
