So, has anyone compared the performance of clang vs gcc compiled in daily use-- for example as a server? Anyone can cherry pick a couple of binaries, but how important is this for the performance of FreeBSD world?
not big, as with almost any compiler. Most workload are dominated by cache misses and jump misprediction.
That's why my gzip comparision resulted in minimally worse clang-compiled one (1% or less), while f2c converted fortran code for scientific calculations showed large differences.
i expect large difference in eg. cjpeg, lame etc and rather small in for eg. perl
