Only cross-releases would be meaningful in that case. The ia64 is
designed with the assumption that the compiler does most of the
ILP related work. The compiler simply has more to do on ia64, so
compilations are almost certainly slower than for i386 or amd64.
worldstone comparisons between different architectures are mostly
meaningless for that reason. Not to mention that a -O compile for
ia64 simply doesn't produce good enough code to make the processor
really sweat.

Sweet!
