Surely this comparison is influenced by which CPU models you are using. But, 
it's true that the gnu compilers were particularly inefficient on the HP-735 
I had for 5 years, giving less than 50% of the performance of HP compilers.  
Recent work may have improved this situation somewhat for the newer 
out-of-order execution processors, which ought not to be so dependent on a 
close match between the compiler and the hardware.
