As a developer, I think GCC is too obsessed with code performance. I think it is already equal or better with best existing cometitors (icc, msc) except for small minority of fpu-intensive scientific apps where icc excels. What thay need to focus on IMO is compile time, which is horror and doesn't get any better with time.
