I have had essentially the same experience, with C, FORTRAN,
and C++. The increase is anywhere from about 2% to about 10%, after
stripping, and running through mcs -d. OTOH, the egcs compiler seems to
compile things that I just couldn't compile before, so I consider it
a wash.
My platform is OSR 5.0.4.
