Up to now I have built Csound for Windows with -march=nocona, figuring that was a good balance between backward compatibility and execution speed.
Lately I found that some people are still using Pentium 4 processors and couldn't run Csound for WIndows, so I rebuilt Csound and CsoundQt with -mtune=pentium4.
The nocona build CAN'T run on older CPUs, the pentium4 build SHOULD be able to run on even older CPUs. The former runs Trapped.csd on my PC in 1.6 seconds, the latter in 1.85 seconds. Not a huge difference.
If anyone wants it they can download the installer from here (it includes CsoundVST and vst4cs): I'm told the PortMidi driver doesn't work, but the Windows driver works fine.

Thanks Mike. This has also sorted out some issues I was having. I can now run Cabbage with the dlls from your installer, which means I can now give users the option of installing Csound WITH Cabbage, or letting them use a pre-existing install. Great. That really simplifies things. And Art has informed me this works for XP too. Even better again. On 24 July 2014 00:43, Michael Gogins |

Thanks for the information, I think that's important. From now on, I will make -mtune=pentium4 the default for all Windows installer releases. This will take effect with the next release, which should come pretty soon, right after I refactor the CsoundObj code for Android to stay in line with iOS.

Thanks, Michael David MooneyI'll give this a try when I'm back in town. The other installer did not work on the XP machine I use for Csound. This PC has never been connected to the Internet so Windows has not been updated from its out-of-the-box state. When I tried to install 6.x, the hangup appeared to be the fact the my machine has not been updated with Windows Service Pack 3 On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 6:43 PM, Michael Gogins <michael.gogins@gmail.com> wrote:
