I always had the notion that LLVM is faster than GCC. I don't feel qualified to interpret this benchmark comparison, but they appear to have roughly the same performance?
- CJefferson 13y agoLLVM compiles faster than GCC (although the gap has narrowed in the last couple of years). GCC produces faster code than LLVM (although that gap has also narrowed)
- riotingpscifis 13y agoLLVM compiles faster as it optimises less (oversimplified of course).
- tjaerv 13y agoThis recent presentation from the 2013 European LLVM Conference outlines the optimization issues LLVM still suffers from, making the produced binaries up to ~10% slower than with GCC for some use cases: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2013-04/#talk3 http://llvm.org/devmtg/2013-04/#talk3
