And for some of the multimedia encode tests, very minor changes in performance between these recent releases.

The CPU mining performance was generally doing better, except for the myr-gr algorithm regressing.

The Redis performance also appeared to be regressing when built under GCC 9.

Of 51 benchmarks ran across these three tested GCC compiler releases, GCC 9.0.0 was the fastest in 23 of the cases while 19 times saw GCC 8.2 the fastest and then nine times saw the two-year-old GCC 7.4.0 winning. Those wishing to dig through all of these compiler benchmark numbers can find them on OpenBenchmarking.org.
