My standard response to such postings is to remind people of the Ada Compiler
Evaluation System (ACES), a collection of performance and usability
assessment tools, including analysis tools for comparing results from
different configurations and for comparing results of related tests run on
the same configuration.  If (especially) performance is important to you, and
you have a pretty good idea of your requirements, then the ACES can be quite
useful.  It's not particularly easy to use, requiring some time investment,
but advice is available.  I'd start with the "Quick-Look" facility to cut the
number of candidates down, then use the full ACES to compare the final 2 or 3
candidates.

See "http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/adaic/compilers/aces" or use anonymous
FTP to sw-eng.falls-church.va.us and change directory to
"public/adaic/compiler/aces".

Good luck!
