The compiler DOES unrolling. f77 users have been able to see this for a year or two. Since C has been bundled with the OS to have any chance of getting unrolling from C would have required you to install the f77 components into your C compiler (or use some of the less well known options). The next C compiler will be available soon, and will not require an OS upgrade. -- Keith H.
