I did a plain and simple C port of bzip2 busybox code for plain and simple C compilers: on bzip2 compression, tinycc is really slow, ~2 times slower than gcc (13.2 -O2)... but cproc/qbe gets... ~70-80% of gcc speed. Switching to cproc/qbe would clearly be a win for a lean open source stack (which de-facto excludes c++ and similar ultra-complex syntax computer languages). In my project list: a minimal linux kernel with gcc-cleaned C code.
