I believe, the big change in GCC 4.0 is the use of a
"single-static assignment" representation as the intermediate form
feed into the optimizer and target machine compiler proper. This
provides a better base for optimization, but for now isn't much better
than 3.4. Course, that is if you're not using auto-vectorize. :-)
I compile using GCC 4.0 for the stricter C++. I haven't had any
problems switching back to 3.4 for performance and compatibility. YMMV
