I call that I had got more dry & whet mips on my arm7tdmi target when I
s/3.2.1/4.3.2/
Fortunately, I found my old ask (and results for 3.2.1) on the list :-)
http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2006-12/msg00000.html
Just now I tried 'dhrystone' test for 4.6.2. Well, I know issues with
this test, but ...
I got
22 VAX MIPS (GCC 4.6.2) vs 13 VAX MIPS (GCC 3.2.1) for RAM startup
and
34 VAX MIPS (GCC 4.6.2) vs 22 VAX MIPS (GCC 3.2.1) for ROM startup
(on-chip flash).
IMHO, it is nice delta. Of course, it is true for my arm7tdmi target and
may be you will get more modest results for your one.
