My guess is that GCC will always be an excellent compiler worth having but that it will also never be as fast as MS VC++. The .NET compiler is really excellent. Microsoft and Intel C++ compilers are professional compilers written by professional people who have nothing to do all day but improve the compiler. They get paid to do it. The GCC compiler is written mostly by college kids who have spare time on their hands. It's actually miraculous that it (GCC) is as excellent as it is. If you are waiting for GCC to outperform MS VC++ or Intel C++, you are going to have a very, very, very long wait (I predict). IMO-YMMV.
