PPC optimisations

[Philippe C.D. Robert]

Hi,

I just have a question regarding gcc on PPC plattforms. As it seems the
compiler doesn't optimise very well compared to eg. x86. Since I am not really a
compiler hacker, could someone explain to me what the most 'expensive'
weaknesses are in this respect? And how much differs gcc on PPC from other RISC
archs such as eg. gcc on ALPHA?

Since Apple now relies on gcc as well (MOSX), what are the chances that we
see some work on this from their side (Stan, do you hear me...grin). 

thx!

sweet dreams, Phil
