Well I've opened a problem with Apple on this issue of how GCC 3.x 
creates poorer code. Mind I don't see a quick solution. For powerPC 
the optimizer creates very different code. It just runs slower.

This might be true for all platforms, one would think that i386 code 
should be faster.

Also it wasn't clear if the gnuify step ran and the interp.c was altered?
