I just tested libreoffice performance between GCC + gold + libstdc++,

That sounds like an interesting result; thanks for measuring.
I will write a blog article
with all the process to reproduce but small version, it just converts
openDocument standart files (ODF 1.0 to 1.3) to PDF.
Fair enough =) its good to see the general stability of the benchmark
numbers.
There is no
significant difference between both clang builds (changing lib C++ from
libstdc++ to libc++) but gcc is slower than clang. Of course all builds
don't use system libraries in this case to compare between lib C++, and
builds are optimised and use LTO.
Looks interesting.
Lubos - what are our build defaults currently and do you have thoughts
on changing them ? it would be great to poke at Arnaud's blog / work
as/when it gets published =)

For information I use openSUSE Tumbleweed latest release.
I also noticed that libengine12 is really bigger with GCC but I've not
have that data on me now.
That's interesting too - how much bigger? I would assume that we use
-Os to optimize for size as well as for speed: since huge binaries may
be more optimal in theory but can be much slower to load and kill your
cache in practice: but it sounds like this is some combination of bigger
& slower.
I wonder what the compile option difference is.
I hope this could be an idea of improvement ! Next crazy test I would
like to do is between MSVC and clang on windows ! But it seems harder !
Ah - now that would be lovely being able to use the same compiler
everywhere =) would be really interesting to compare the performance there.
Good work !
Michael.
