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 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.

And before you bitch about GCC vs. ICC, get back to me when ICC supports multiple target architectures....

Fedora is also moving to 4.3.x...

More happy campers...
