LLVM vs stock GCC

[Henri Gomez]

Hi to all,

I do some benchmarks with various JVMs available on OS/X
(http://blog.hgomez.net/2011/04/18/apple-jdk’s-openjdks-–-core2duo-vs-core-i7/)

Apple VM (1.6.0-22/1.6.0-24), OpenJDK 6, OpenJDK 7 from bsd-port and
OpenJDK 7 from macosx-port.

I notice a small performance loss in macosx-port version, which is
similar to bsd-port code base, except it's using LLVM.

Did there is a penalty using LLVM instead of stock GCC ?

Thanks
