Hi, Dr Dobb's Journal did some broad benchmark on 9 diffenernt C and C++ compilers (Borland 5.6.4, Comeau 4.3.3, Digital Mars 8.38, GCC 3.2, Intel 8.0, CodeWarrior 8.3, Visual C++ 6, VisualC++ 7.1, OpenWatcom 1.2) While I cannot submit full results, I can tell you that in C++ tests GCC came as second best (after Intel) while in C test it was worst.
