Compiling Radiance with the Intel C Compiler now works!

Randolph,

I just added the data to the Benchmark page. He used "-O3 -xHost"

Radiance runs more slowly compiled by icc.
The rpict time of gcc 4.5.2 is around 17 minutes 45 seconds and
the rpict time of icc V12 Update 6 is 20 minutes.

The binaries (elf files) produced by the Intel compiler are 1 MB which is twice the size of the binaries produced by gcc.

Another idea is to post a message on an Intel forum, informing them about gcc's better performance, they seem interested in this kind of information.
Maybe Intel can learn from gcc and improve their own compiler.
