I don't see how making GCC faster on new machines wouldn't speed
things up on slower machines. Hmm... Except for refraining from
recomputing stuff over and over by setting aside some memory to hold
the computed value. This is fine for machines with lots of memory,
but not for memory-starved machines, which are more likely to be the
slow ones. But then, for a sufficiently large testcase, setting such
memory aside might cause even fast and big-memory boxes to get
slower.
Do you have other situations in mind?
