Well, I don't know.  I was going to port GCC to the Amiga, but I looked
closely at the code it generated first.  As it turns out, Manx 3.4a and
3.4b for the Amiga generate better code than GCC, even though GCC attempts
some pretty hairy optimizations.  Could someone post benchmarks for the
latest Manx compiler for the Mac?  (It should be 3.4 something, not the
old 1.foo or anything.)

Give the Intel processors some credit, however; their architecture may
not be the cleanest, but they are pretty quick.
