Yes, Clang in general produces slower binaries than gcc.  Is that in
dispute or something?  Or is this just repetition in case we didn't hear
you the first time?

Try thinking of the transition as a step back to take many steps forward.
 Or just change your compiler.  Complaining on this list is definitely the
wrong place though.  Those who have offended your sensibilities by moving
to Clang don't live here.

People have already done nice work on the benchmarks:
