New stuff in XCode 2.0

I was looking at the new features in XCode 2.0 that is coming out with Tiger and I saw this:
Along with improvements to the GUI, Xcode 2.0 will ship with GCC 4.0 which features a new C++ Parser and several code generation improvements including auto-vectorization. While hand-tuning Velocity Engine code can get you the maximum performance from the G4 and G5 processors, now you can have GCC do the heavy lifting for you. You'll benefit from this without any extra effort, with auto-vectorization in GCC bringing anywhere between a 4X and 14X performance improvement to code that works with arrays of data.
This looks pretty sweet. I wonder if this will help speed up some Torque stuff without digging in and rewriting stuff for Altivec.

XCode 2.0's auto-vectorization should help things even further, if it does as good a job as they claim.

The Altivec terrain blender will be in the next release of Torque (thanks again to Kyle Goodwin).XCode 2.0's auto-vectorization should help things even further, if it does as good a job as they claim.

Xcode 2.0 looks very sweet. It might even have working source control integration ;)
