[LLVMdev] does clang and llvm take more time to compile c code

[Eric Lu]

Hi, Ben
gcc version is: 4.7.0
clang version is: 3.2

The command options are:
1) clang
generated object files: clang -O3 -c *.c -o x.o
link:  clang  *.o -lm -o  mpeg2enc

2) gcc
generated object files: gcc -O3 -c *.c -o x.o
link:  gcc  *.o -lm -o  mpeg2enc


Yes, maybe it is the config introduced problems, I build it with enable
debug options.

Thanks!

Eric
