We haven't done any real benchmarking yet. Our code should be quite 
competitive, as even the base STD compiler does register allocation, 
conditional execution and condition code tracking. There are something like 
we need to improve on in base code generation e.g. loading of literal base, 
and we will be releasing the PRO optimizer relatively shortly (we are 
tuning it for the AVR right now first). Once all these are done, we can do 
more benchmarking.

Generally though, we don't get into the benchmarking game. We do take in 
our customers suggestions of course and it is more worthwhile for us to 
look at opportunities there than on artifical benchmarks.
