I have not benchmarked. This is a personal machine, so reality means nothing to me, merely perception. That having been said, I will repeat my earlier comment: It's a more noticable difference (and the more so since a make world and rebuilding emacs) than was changing from a 5x86-120GP/UMC MoBo to a P-100/Triton. The pgcc home page claims 5-30% typical speedup depending on switches, and some code size reduction. My experience is consistent with this claim, although unquantified.
