The GCC compiler produces one of the fastest code on the planet.
Maybe the programs you have tested have been compiled with an older version of
GCC which was not able to optimize for Pentium class processors.
But there is now a version of GCC that knows how to optimize for Pentium and
later.
I doubt there is a compiler that produces faster code. If there is, it will by a
very small margin, probably less than 5%.
