John, I have an old question to you... the Lame compiles doesn't have optimized versions for SSE and SSE2 like Vorbis compiles. Why that?
By the way, thanks for the binaries!
Basically because LAME has assembler routines that provide all the optimisation necessary and the Intel compiler options add no measurable speed benefit.

Beta 7 compiles now available.
