I can say that Xfree86 isn't impossible to compile with ccc. As I have done it, not newer only older versions. X4.1.0 were last what I tried and succesfully compiled with ccc, speedup were notable sometimes. Of course there will be more notable speedup if windowmanager is compiled too with ccc. I didn't do that wm compiling so it might slow down.
