Personally I feel that the PowerPC platform needs a highly optimized
free compiler. While GCC is great, it suffers from the being designed
to run on multiple platforms, and as such is not well optimized for any
of them. Recently Intel released the free ICC compiler for x86, and was
able to better GCC's performance by 47% (There was an article on
SlashDot a while ago). Many people complain that OS X feels sluggish.
I believe this is primarily due to the fact that most of it was built
using GCC, which lags considerably even on it's original platform, the
x86.
