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.

LLVM a better solution?
More eleguant ok, but what is best is whichever has the best runtime performance, which means in that order ICC > GCC > LLVM and which suits your need, no ObjectiveC on ICC so GCC > LLVM.
Now apparently Apple is set on LLVM so they will probably work on improving its performance: it's not because OpenGL on LLVM is faster than regular OpenGL (they handmade many parts) that generic code is faster on LLVM than GCC (currently I think it is quite the opposite.).
