Absolutely....YES!
Every time I go back to OS9 and the interfaces just zip, pop, and blaze
with speed, I could just cry. I agree that a jump up in compiler
optimizations would benefit nearly all aspects of OSX and the apps that
run native on it, but I wouldn't go trashing GCC's performance just
yet - the release that Apple ships is many many years behind the
current state of the art for GCC, and this includes a TON of
PPC-specific optimizations.
Maybe switching back to 68k code and emulating it, like MacOS 9, would
give MacOS X a boost ;-)
