I do not follow that mailing list.  Looking at the thread you
pointed at, I see comments from Apple, openbsd developers, and
someone in the linux world.

Could someone who is regularly on that mailing list add a
comment about the freebsd project's experience with switching
from 2.95.x to 3.x?  I'm the type of person who decided I had
to buy a new machine after gcc 3.x went in, because I couldn't
stand the slowdown of the new compiler.  To me, the cost of
that was $1500 and a fair amount of my spare time to shuffle
machines around.  Sounds like a good reason to complain, but I
wouldn't want to jump into the gcc mailing list if someone from
FreeBSD is already covering compile-time performance.
