They stopped Benchmarking releases?
How come there are no benchmarks for the 4.3 release series?
Has GCC gotten so slow that they are embarrassed by their benchmarks?
see:
http://vmakarov.fedorapeople.org/spec/comparison.html (stops at 4.2)
http://gcc.opensuse.org/c++bench/freefem/ (stops at 4.1)
http://annwm.lbl.gov/bench/ (stops at 3.4)

If you want some benchmarks
If you want some benchmarks go out and run them yourself and publish them on a website just like Vmakarov did. 4.3.x is a relatively new series, give them a break. They've been making steady progress since the major refactoring that brought on the 4.x.x line.

Fedora is also moving to 4.3.x...
More happy campers...
