This is fine, as basically the situation was like that for (some) C++
code:

  GCC 3.0:   slow code generation    slow code generated
  GCC 3.0.1: faster code generation  somewhat slower code generated
  GCC 3.0.2: faster code generation  faster code generated

So, when comparing 3.0.1 with 3.0.2(prerelease), you should see about
the some compilation time, but better performance for your binaries.

GCC 3.0.2 should be strictly better than 3.0 in *both* areas.
