I don't know much about the relative speed, but I do know that the Sun compiler (Sun Workshop Pro 4.2) is always getting stuff wrong. I have to turn off incremental linking (one of its "features") just to get it to work some of the time.
I have to use this dog every day.
I'd much rather have something that actually does the job properly, rather than have something faster that gets it wrong.
I'm looking forward to the day when we switch to gcc (still stuck with SUNWSpro for legacy reasons).
