If you look at the actual executable code generated GCC is very
efficient.  However the volume of run-time code inserted is quite
high, mainly to whip the lame DOS/Windoze interface into
reasonably close compliance with POSIX standards.

Do an "objdump -dS" on your .o object modules, and you will be
surprised how taut they are, especially if compiled with -O2.
-gstabs+ is also needed for suitable friendly interface with gdb
and objdump.  Then compare the result with the code output by TC
on the same sourcee.
