Mark Mitchell announced the availability of GCC 4.1.1 saying, "this release is a bug-fix release for problems in GCC [4.1.0]. GCC 4.1.1 contains changes to correct regressions from previous releases, but no new features." GCC 4.1.0 [story] was released 2 and a half months ago in March of 2006.
GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection which includes C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada compilers. Download GCC 4.1.0 from a gcc.gnu.org mirror.

Can't find any benchmarks
No benchmarks at all to be found (by me at least) on gcc 4.1.x versus previous releases. It did cut about 30K off the size of my linux kernel binary compared to 4.0.x
Look just a *little* harder
Some of the links off the cleverly named http://gcc.gnu.org/benchmarks/ benchmarking page have results for 4.1.x.
