We're already at the point where Clang generates better code than GCC, and it 
gets even better with each release ;). The only code where GCC still performs 
better is OpenMP code. I'm not sure we have any OpenMP code for Haiku at all. 
And even for that, there is a Clang fork that has OpenMP support that is 
currently going through work to be merged upstream.
