I don't understand why we couldn't add a non-GCC compiled VM on the website. The VM will still be compilable with GCC, e.g., for Linux distros. Heck, we could even add both a GCC and a non-GCC compiled VM on the website and everybody can decide which one to use.
Here is a free bit of advice: Run some actual application benchmarks first. Doubling an artificial micro benchmark may have no impact whatsoever on application performance. For our uses, we found that the Intel compiler on Macs gave us 10% in app performance which is not bad at all for just switching the compiler but the microbenchmarks were actually worse than those of a GNUified interpreter compiled with gcc. YMMV. Measure it before committing to it. Cheers, - Andreas

The problem with this option is we can't package it on Linux distros ... as open source software, I prefer that the VM downloadable on pharo website is a GCC (or other OSS compiler) compiled one.

What's the yearly costs for the Intel Compiler license?

According to the website, 600$ for a single-user license on a single platform, 240$ for yearly support renewal. Other licensing options you have to contact them for pricing.
