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!
