GCC 4.5 is faster, but clang still wins. With -S to test just the compiler:

$ time ~/llvm/llvm-build/Release/bin/clang++ -S
/home/espindola/gcc/test.cc  -o t.s

real	0m0.530s
user	0m0.490s
sys	0m0.030s

$ time ~/gcc/inst-x86/bin/g++ -S /home/espindola/gcc/test.cc  -o t.s

real	0m1.107s
user	0m1.080s
sys	0m0.030s

Not that 2.09x faster is bad :-)
