It is for what users perceive. A user upgrades from GCCn to GCCn+1 on
their existing hardware. If n+1 is slower, they get annoyed.
When that user upgrades their hardware, they say 'hey my *computer* is
faster', not 'hey gcc is faster'.
Their expenditure on new faster hardware does not get them faster
development cycles, if gcc eats it all up.
