Yes, that's true. Parser and name lookup are most expensive tasks. But how
is it possible that trunk is so much (~20%) faster than tree-ssa, when
tree-ssa is based on trunk?

Yes, but why?

Agree, but maybe it just tell something about not so good optimizations on
tree-ssa branch in comparison with trunk, i.e. trunk optimizes C++ parser
much better... Is it possible to not bootstrap tree-ssa, but just compile
it by GCC3.4.0/3.5.0 and see if parser is faster? If so, how?
Thanks,
Karel
