Subject: "Fun" MSVC performance "bug"

Just FYI. I just noticed that when compiling O2 (optimize for speed) using
MSVC6 it also uses the compiler intrinsic version of strcat. This is not
something you'd want to do (unless perhaps using a 386 or 486). It seems
this one is at least 2-3 times as slow as the one in the runtime library
using a P2! Not to mention the resulting binary grows.
