Nicco, I think probably the next release of clang may be faster than gcc. That's what competition does, it improves the code. Here's a quote from the end of the Phoronix tests. "While Clang overall is still competitive with GCC" Makes "outruns" sound a bit sensationalist to me. That quote says to me that overall things balance up, It would have been far more revealing perhaps if some of these tests had been performed within a virtual machine.
