UnixBench 4.1.0 GCC vs Entic’s compiler optimization

On one of our v.Dedicated servers, we compared the benchmarks generated with UnixBench when compiled with the default GNU GCC (which is what almost 99% of all hosting/server providers use) vs Entic optimized Solaris native compiler. No tuning was done to UnixBench itself.

Here are the results for GCC run:
