Uh... you must not know what you are talking about.  GCC *COMPILES*
slower as it does a better job of optimizing (which adds time to the
compiling time).  The produced optimzied binaries have quicker
*RUN-TIME*s.

Why would any one want to call for a compiler to be removed that produces
faster binaries??
