How much faster these days? In my experience for optimized builds of
large files the difference is not so impressive (for unoptimized
builds clang is definitely much faster).
Which would generally indicate that the front-end and mandatory parts of
the middle/backend are slow for GCC (relatively to clang/llvm), but the
optimizers in GCC are faster.
That wouldn't be a huge surprise given home much time has been spent
trying to keep the optimizers fast.
