OS X doesn't "feel" sluggish it *IS* sluggish. 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.
