GCC Compiler Tests At A Variety Of Optimization Levels Using Clear Linux
Some of the dedicated test profiles for code compilation.
The C-Ray multi-threaded ray-tracer is another interesting test suspect when it comes to compiler comparisons.
FLAC is very slow if not building it with compiler optimizations.
As is the MP3 performance also slow at -O0.
Those wishing to look through a whole lot more compiler test data can find more compiler performance / install time / binary size performance data from GCC 6.3 on Clear Linux using this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.
