Hi Bill,

I was running some benchmarks and was surprised that the startup
performance of your binaries is much worse than the stable binaries
for 3.2

I've used:
http://llvm.org/releases/3.2/clang+llvm-3.2-x86_64-linux-ubuntu-12.04.tar.gz
vs
http://llvm.org/pre-releases/3.3/rc3/clang+llvm-3.3rc3-Ubuntu-12.04.2-x86_64.tar.gz

On a simple hello.c file:
/ssd/bench$ TIMEFORMAT="%E"
/ssd/bench$ for I in `seq 1 5`; do \
  time /ssd/llvm3.2/bin/clang -c hello.c; \
  done
0.015
0.014
0.013
0.013
0.013

/ssd/bench$ for I in `seq 1 5`; do \
  time /ssd/llvm3.3rc/bin/clang -c hello.c; \
  done
0.992
0.978
0.982
0.981
0.976

Is this an expected behaviour (e.g. +Asserts or Debug build)
or a real regression?

P.s.
I'm not very familiar with the Clang release process, so I might be
missing something obvious...
