Which gcc version are you using? I get the opposite result on my 2GHz G5: the Mozilla version does 45MB/s, the openssl version does 135MB/s, and my version does 218MB/s. The time for a fsck-cache on a linux-2.6 tree (cache hot) is 8.0 seconds for the Mozilla version, 5.2 seconds for the openssl version, and 4.4 seconds for my version.
