Don't know if this is the correct place to ask for it but.. Is there any known development being done on this list for the Alpha and/or PowerPC chips ? I tested a "real-life" program on both Intel P2-233Mhz and a PowerPC-750 (233MHz, Apple G3 computer with LinuxPPC) that does some heavy floating-point calculation and to my surprise the the G3 was about 10% slower. As everything I have heard says that PowerPC is better at floats than X86 I guess the compiler (gcc 2.7.1) did a bad job. If I want to try to implement more for these (second most sold compared to Intel ?) chips whould this be a good place to start asking questions as I have rather small experience in compiler-construction field ?
