Is there a place where such future features are listed, since i started to
look into this as well since i didn't find a reference, but maybe i should
just ask the list.

For the assembly stuff that is, on a P4 i noticed that gcc 3.4 uses very slow
memset implementations (rep stosd iirc). But i guess most (if not all)
performance critical loops are in assembly anyways.
