Toby, If you are interested, here are the results for Polyhedron 2005 benchmarks (the reference set used for testing fortran compilers) for the x86_64 code generated by gcc 4.2.4 and llvm-gcc 4.2.1's gfortran compilers respectively on darwin9...
http://www.nabble.com/x86_64-apple-darwin-Polyhedron-2005-benchmarks-td25108861.html The results aren't bad when compared to gcc 4.2.4 but that is an ancient release by gfortran standards (basically when it just started to be usable). In the intervening releases, there have been many changes to wire it up better to the gcc middle end so that it optimizes much better (and a huge number of bug fixes and extensions for newer fortran standards).
