What is the best compiler to use with Blitz? If I understand the papers
correctly it was once KAI++, which doesn't exist anymory, because the
company was taken over by Intel.

I develop for win32 and I can compile with Visual Sudio 7.1 or Intel 8.1?
Which compiler gives the best results - for tiny matrices and vectors in my
case? Are there any issues I have to be aware of?

PS:

In the transform.h example KAI++ was able to produce nearly the same
assembler code like for the C version. Can all compilers do this now? Or
isn't this important anymore? What about SIMD instructions?
