Apple announced that they are using the LLVM optimizer and JIT within their Mac OS 10.5 'Leopard' OpenGL stack. LLVM will help in delivering better performance of the GL stack.

Being curious after the announcement I looked at their mailing list and saw that Apple will also submit the x86-64 target to LLVM.
Interesting..
That said I agree with pzad: the usage of LLVM by Apple for OpenGL seems mostly useful for laptops with lowend graphic boards.
It would be interesting to see performance figures..
