I use Datalight-C on my IBM compatible, 4.77 MHZ, 20Meg HD, V20.

At work I use a UN*X System and do quite a bit of programming in C.
The dlc routine that came with Datalight-C is pretty much the same as
the cc in UN*X.  The make utility (that's included) is pretty much the
same also.  The compiler is fast, and seems to generate tight code.
I've got no complaints.

In December I got to play with MSC4.0 on an AT, 30Meg HD, 6MHZ?  Datalight-C
seemed to compiled the version of word-count (UN*X utility wc) that I wrote,
faster on my system (above) than MSC on the AT.  Sorry I have no real speed
comparison numbers for the above test.

I really like the Datalight-C compiler.  I had no problem installing it,
and have had good experiences using it.

Sorry no flames...
