    Hello,

    After upgrading our system from 4.0F (PK7) to 5.1A (PK3), we found out
    that the C++ binaries of our major application were getting 10 to 35%
    larger.

    The hardware and source code are identical, we have only changed the OS
    and therefore the C++ compiler.

    Is there a known explanation for this?

    Thanks,

    --
