Maybe you all knowing 'C' compiler person could please inform us of
some fast compilers that are not funny.

I'm sure users world wide of both the above products would heartily
disagree with you. Both have their flaws (as have all other compilers).
I use both products as well as many others (MSC, QUICKC, TURBOC, TURBOPASCAL, ZORTECH) and find neither suitable for everything I do.

However I don't find either a joke or particularly slow. (might be on a 4.77Mhz 8088, but that's the machines fault).
