I disagree about the latter. Clang has a long-standing reputation of compiler
which is faster than GCC, but generating slower code than GCC. On the other hand,
recent releases of GCC greatly improved compilation speed, memory consumption,
and diagnostics.

So it would be useful to explain why Clang is still great when we have GCC 4.9.
