Yes, I can't recall it was what 50% of the performance of a 3.x compile out of the box, and after *much* tweaking of compiler flags it was mmm just 20% slower.. Well certainly the performance impact was measured in 10 of percent.

John McIntosh and I actually spent some time a few ago compiling VMs on Windows and MacOS with the newest GCCs and ran into a bunch of problems, especially concerning performance. I had to put the work on the back burner for now, but switching to newer compilers will take a bit of extra work at some point.
