No idea. You could compile them all with -O2, run them on a set of puzzles, and produce a table of results :-)
Well I could, but I wont ;-) If you had to guess which one is fastest which one would you guess? I'm a little surprised no one's tried a parallel solution yet, actually.
We've got an SMP runtime for a reason, people!
Funny that you should mention that, this was actually one of the Topcoder marathon match contests for multithreading: http://www.topcoder.com/longcontest/?module=ViewProblemStatement&compid=5624&rd=9892 (you'll need to login to see the problem statement, but basically it's Sudoku, on a 16-core Xeon (I think))
