"SproutCore, profiled earlier this week, isn't the only big news spill out from the top secret WWDC conference due to Apple's embrace of open source sharing. Another future technology featured by the Mac maker last week was LLVM, the Low Level Virtual Machine compiler infrastructure project. Like SproutCore, LLVM is neither new nor secret, but both have been hiding from attention due to a thick layer of complexity that has obscured their future potential."

Thanks for the clarification. Must say that 'usually' 5-10% faster sounds great. Any chance you could point me to your sources regarding this as I'm really interested in code optimization.

The article was confused. llvm-gcc consistently compiles code 30-40% faster than GCC does when the optimizer is enabled (e.g. at) -O2. The generated code is usually 5-10% faster than GCC generated code, but obviously YMMV.
