If you can quantify this, it is something we can pass on to the GCC folks. They are rather receptive right now due to wanting GCC 3.1.1 to be very high quality. Run-time of the compiler isn't anything that can be fixed right now -- but if you show how small (but not 3 line trivial) programs run slower that would be of interest.
