[Sunhelp] Sparc Compiler

[Wes Hofmann]

Currently I am using the GNU compiler on Solaris 2.6 sparc edition. 
I've read and been told that SUN's (SparcWorks?) Compiler makes much
better code for the solaris platform than does the GNU Compiler.  If
that is true, is the increased performance enough to warrant buying
SUN's compiler when I already have a free one that does what I need? 
Thanks for any info. :)
