Snippet from this article: http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/9
"Clang brings with it the two headline attributes you expect in a hot, new compiler: shorter compile times and faster executables. In Apple's testing with its own applications such as iCal, Address Book, and Xcode itself, plus third-party applications like Adium and Growl, Clang compiles nearly three times faster than GCC 4.2. As for the speed of the finished product, the LLVM back-end, whether used in Clang or in LLVM-GCC, produces executables that are 5-25% faster than those generated by GCC 4.2."
clang seems like a good choice for newer darwin systems. I didn't make any speed measurements yet, but for sure the compile times are incredibly shorter, and the resulting executables noticeable smaller.
