    Experiments made on i386 hardware showed an 11% speedup on
    -O0 and a 7.5% speedup on -O2 compilation of large C++
    testcase.

This sentence not grammatical.


    New value profile transformations pass enabled via -fvpt
    aimes

This misspells "aims".


    Reordering of functions in topological order of the call
    graph to enable better propagation of optimizing hints
    (such as stack alignment needed by function) in the back
    end.

The phrase in parentheses is jarring to me.  I think that "such as the stack
alignment needed by a function" or "such as the stack alignments needed by
functions" would be better.


    In this scheme whole file is parsed first and optimized
    later.

This sentence not grammatical.


    Overall, unit-at-a-time scheme cause 1.3% improvement

This sentence not grammatical.


    Precompiled headers are now supported. Precompiled headers
    can dramatically speed up compilation of some projects.
    There are some restrictions; read the manual for the
    details.

It would be nice to have a link here.


    See the ISO C++ Standard Committee's defect report #209.
    for details.

The period after 209 should probably not be there.


    Fortran improvements are listed in the Fortran
    documentation.

"the" is part of the link, but this does not occur in the other links on the
page.


The page is also generally inconsistent as to whether the things in lists

* should be followed by a period.
* or not

But that's a bit too pedantic, even for me.
