+1.
Tomkun's post suggests he only tried your ICC build and said it's faster, that doesn't necessarily mean it's because of ICC - might just as well be the dolphin-emulator buildbot sucking.
So basically, my question still stands.
dolphin buildbot does suck :p
no PGO is performed in the build process
Yeah, neither is it in DefenderX's builds.
Funnily enough, that's kinda the most obvious optimization but no one ever thinks of using it around here :p
I actually tried PGO out on vba-m once, it made some parts slower!.
I hadn't realised I would start trouble over this!
I didn't feel the need to even try DefenderX's vanilla builds as the ICC versions seemed to work very nicely. I can compare them and post back here the results if you like.

Well, i hope you didn't forget this comparison. Like neobrain, i'm interested too.
I've always been interested in this as well, so I did a couple benchmarks between Lectrode's and DefenderX's normal / ICC builds and the official site build. Performance-wise, they are exactly the same on my PC (i5-2500k @ 4.4, Radeon HD 6870, 2x4GB 2133 DDR3). However, when doing a benchmark of the Last Story Chapter 4 intro, I noticed that only DefenderX's builds (both vanilla and ICC) had out-of-sync audio and video. The problem seems to be that the video (but not FPS according to fraps) gets ahead of the audio. I don't know what could be causing this, though, since they are all compiled from the same source.
Results:
These numbers represent average FPS over a 60 second period.
