Well, that's self contradictory!
Not really. A bit later it says:
On all x86 compatibles (Celeron, PIII, P4, Athlon, etc) you need gcc
2.95.x or earlier, or gcc 3.1 or newer.
I don't see what that has to do with the contradiction I quoted. First they say that GCCs newer than 2.95.x will be slower, then later they say that the fastest GCC they can find is 3.1.
I believe they are referring to newer versions of GCC v.2, i.e. versions later than 2.95 but earlier than 3, such as 2.96. These versions were not official releases; they were development snapshots of the progress towards version 3. It is understandable, therefore, that they have poorer optimization.
