I suggest you spend some time in the bugzilla database, triaging bugs
and explaining people who say that the compiler segfaulted -- when
compiling their programs, and you have determined that GCC was
consuming huge memory -- that they are marginal.
Until then, I guess we're just going through an empty discussion.
