Do you have any idea how gcc3 does in this respect? 3.1 will also be slower on the Alpha. It is really an issue of the code generator. Generating x86 code on an Alpha is faster than generating [native] Alpha code. The Alpha code generator is slow. It may be that all 64 bit or RISC GCC code generation is slow -- we will see soon for the sparc64.
