I would be (pleasantly) surprised if Zig could beat LLVM's codegen.

  So would the Zig team. AFAIK, they don't plan to (and have said this in interviews). The plan is for super fast compilation and incremental compilation. I think the homegrown backend is mainly for debug builds.

    The backends do already have some simple optimizations. Of course focus is debug builds and speed, but long term goal is for them to be competitive as well.
