There was a pretty good and complete review of C compilers in
Computer Language of May '90. Their conclusion was that
Microsoft C 6.0 was the best optimizing compiler of the 14 tested.
Performance of a compiled real world application was best when compiled
by MSC 6.0 using the compact memory model and best when compile by
Watcom C 7.0 using the large memory model with MSC 6.0 only needing
1% more execution time.

Hope this helps you!		-- Florian
