...thanks to all for all these answers. Sounds I had better
carefully select the right benchmark for my investigation.
Special thanks to J�rgen Pfeifer who does a private benchmark
based on a pde (partial differencial equation).
His experience said: g77 > gnat > gcc > gpc, which means that
g77 is much faster than gpc.
