Thanks for all of the suggestions and help.  One gentleman at Fermi
pointed me to the K&R manual (pg. 99, K&R second ed) where it specifically
states that the compiler converts a[i] to *(a+i).  That answers that 
question.

As for optimization, thanks for the information on how the SGI compiler
optimizes code and thanks for reminding me that SGI's have "pixie" for
profiling the code.  Many of the machines that I work on don't have tools
like this, so I tend to forget to use it.
