I think it's a good benchmark. It does exactly what it says: compares GCC 3.4 and 4.0 against Sun Studio 12. Of course we don't use those ancient GCC versions anymore, but the benchmark never mentioned it tests anything newer than GCC 4.0.
As for testing compilation speed, any compiler benchmark has to test it, regardless of whether people consider it useless or not. It's a must to test.

Anyway, I like this test better than the others. I would like GCC people to also give their input. Not only SUN people. Otherwise it isnt fair if only SUN people can give input.

build systems typically only rebuild changed parts, and as such the compiletime is very minimal whilst developing. Furthermore, with quadcore+ workstations, its practically irellevant.
