In my projects, programs compiled with Clang (since 3.2) run about 5%
faster than with g++ (4.8.1). That's on Linux x86_64.

It is *much* faster. For my C++ template-intensive code a Clang build
completes in half the time (again, Linux x86_64). For Windows, Clang
usually takes half the time as MinGW-W64 (4.8.2, x86). It is quite
faster than MSVC++ 2013.

Diagnostics are much better than any other C++ compiler, Standards
compliance is second to none, development is strong, great stability...

And then there is libClang, but that's another kind of beast.
