There is extremely little code in the world that is faster with gccgo. Yes, gccgo can do better with floating point, but the lack of escape analysis slows it down tremendously in every real world situation out there.

There is a GSOC to add escape analysis (https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/g...). It'll be interesting to see how that affects things.


Wow. I guess the last time i look at the differences was around 1.1 Thanks for the correction
