Using the attachment of the original bug report, I compared a) Apple's version of GCC-4.0 as provied by Xcode 2.5 as /usr/bin/gcc: powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370) b) GCC-4.4.5 as provided by MacPorts: gcc-mp-4.4 (GCC) 4.4.5 simply by issuing the command make double GCC3=gcc-4.0 GCC4=gcc-mp-4.4 Performance drop is about one third with GCC-4.4.5 instead of Apple's version of GCC-4.0.1, but is almost restored when using -fno-schedule-insns -fno-rerun-loop-opt with GCC-4.4.5.
