Here are the results after building gcc 4.1.2 (repeating results for gcc
3.4.6 for comparison). I suspect that performance is probably impacted
because gcc 4.1.2 (and also the rest of the tool-chain) is built with
gcc 3.4.6 - but it certainly suggests that the newer gcc versions don't like the slice-8 algorithm for some reason.
