Some people here are eager to switch to gcc ``for real''; others are not
so sure.

I've seen some articles (a while back) comparing gcc performance to acc
(I think) and Sun's regular cc.  Naturally, I neglected to save them :-(
If anyone could send them to me, or has such numbers themselves, I'd be
most appreciative.  I'm particularly interested in gcc vs. acc and gcc
vs. the HP-UX 9 cc, but anything would be useful.

Also, if you know of (or work for?) companies that use the stock FSF gcc
as their production compiler for product development, I'd like to hear
about that, too.  (Besides Lucid and Cygnus; and Data
General/Intel/NeXT/etc. -- those are all useful points, and I'm making
them, but what would be most convincing is a company making some big
end-user application, as opposed to tools.)

Thanks in advance.  I'll summarize if warranted.
