What about -Ofast which enables -ffast-math?

The makefile supplied with the repo specifies -ffast-math. It uses these CFLAGS: CFLAGS=-s -O3 -msse -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -IBox2D_v2.2.1 -DNDEBUG=1 Using -Ofast gets the same results as -O2.

Thanks for the info, I should have guessed that he enabled -ffast-math manually.

It doesn't make sense to test farseer on anything but Windows. I would be curious to see how .NET stands these days with relation to Java and native.

I know about Mono. I don't think its as fast as Microsoft's own CLR, though I would definitely be happy if it was.
