Here are numbers for -current on x86 with compilers as of last night's
sup.

Speed:

The benchmark I picked was a build of the GENERIC_TINY kernel
configuration in a freshly configured directory.

Runs were done on a PentiumII/266 with 64 meg of memory and all
relevant filesyustems on a single 4gig narrow SCSI disk, with /tmp in
an MFS.

I ran each case three times in sequence to see what kind of
variability in timing I'd get; I didn't get much, so I summed the
times and compared them.

shared libcc1:
(wall time within 0.8%; user cpu within 0.6%)

make: 429.55s user 34.97s sys 507.52s wall
make: 430.68s user 34.05s sys 509.56s wall
make: 431.87s user 33.63s sys 505.64s wall
total: 1292.10s user, 1522.72s wall

unshared libcc1:

(wall times times are within 0.4%; user cpu usage within 0.2%)
make: 377.36s user 33.34s sys 453.86s wall
make: 377.39s user 32.92s sys 452.24s wall
make: 376.86s user 33.14s sys 452.75s wall

total: 1131.61s user 1358.85s wall

For this benchmark on x86, shared libcc1 uses 12% more wall time, and
uses 14% more cpu time.

On x86, unshared libcc1 uses 94% more disk space than shared.
