OS News had a guy benchmarking SunOne versus GCC as well recently, and
GCC wasn't that much worse there either.

Despite GCCs reputation as a crappy risc compiler, I'm beginning to get
the impression that it isn't that bad for SPARCs at least.  I hear PPCs
are a different story.  MIPS is definately a different story.  On the
other hand, GCC on SuperH seems decent (but we don't have any other
handy compilers to compare against, so we are comparing against
theoretical maximums).
