Actually, it's often the opposite. In particular, clang tries to use the least amount of memory possible for better caching effects, which is why it compiles much faster. For the compiled program, it's also comparable in speed (and sometimes faster) in most benchmarks. That's pretty impressive given that GCC has been around much longer and has more developers.
