Hi, Micheal did a plain compiler benchmark on FreeBSD 11: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=freebsd11-clang-gcc&num=1 It shows clearly how slow CLang is compared to GCC. This is the price FreeBSD has to pay to be free of GPL in the base system. Erich

I think gcc has a lot of knowledge and experience under its belt, a larger user base so no wonder it performs [slightly] worse. What has really surprised me has been ImageMagick, apparently because of openmp. The OpenMP stack has been contributed by intel, clang 3.4 if I recall it right. Surprising. Cheers, Fernando
