------- Comment #40 from steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-01-31 22:22 ------- Comparing optimized build times *is* very, very fair as we add optimization capabilities that help nothing for 99% of the code (cselim, bswap optimization, cestore, etc.), and with a passes pipeline that unconditionally executes many passes repeatedly for good SPEC scores.
