I can confirm this behavior  on PowerPC. 
In fact it is even worse on PowerPC (TiBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.2.6):
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% gcc -O3 idct3.c 
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% time ./a.out

[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% gcc -O3 idct3.c -fno-schedule-insns
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% time ./a.out

[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% gcc -O3 idct3.c -fnew-ra
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% time ./a.out
6.120u 0.020s 0:06.57 93.4%     0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% gcc -O3 idct3.c -fno-schedule-insns -fnew-ra
[omni:~/src/gccPRs] pinskia% time ./a.out
1.760u 0.000s 0:01.81 97.2%     0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

A factor of 3.6 slower is the code that gcc produces without -fno-schedule-insns.
