Assuming that Mandrake Linux 6.1's i586 RPMs were compiled using pgcc/egcs
and Red Hat Linux 6.1's i386 RPMs were compiled using gcc, IMO pgcc/egcs
produces faster code than gcc. I tried both systems, each for a few hours,
and was convinced that Mandrake's system was faster when starting up,
shutting down or starting a GUI-based application.
Sorry to be so vague. :) I thought a real-world example would be more useful
than a benchmark.
AFAIK, pgcc is now part of ecgs, which is part of GNU's gcc project.
