Indeed.  Please try 4.3.  Really.

So threads=1 in openMP icc build appears slightly better even than a non-openMP icc build on multiple core cpus. It has to be a single core cpu to make an accurate benchmark. It took me a while to figure it out though....

That's puzzling.  Frankly, I am not convinced that your analysis is
correct, although it might be.

As seen from my benchmarks for different gcc versions, a speedup of
about 7% on top of the DES_BS_ASM code is in fact possible.

Thanks for the update!
