If you can demonstrate that say GCC-4.0 uses much more memory than 3.4 or 3.3 to compile some code, then file a PR with preprocessed source and someone will eventually look at it.
I haven't thought about a regression, I was only using 3.4, but look at this:
mem peak user sys
gcc 3.4 -S -O0 476 MB 1m39s 2s gcc 4.0 -S -O0 655 MB 2m23s 3s
icc -S -O0 264 MB 1m24s 15s
the file makes quite heavy use of virtual inheritance so there are a lot of virtual tables involved. are there any known performance bugs in this area or should I file a PR?
any suggestions on how to simplify the testcase? (preprocessed is ~60k lines)
