== Progress ==

* Profiling ImageMagick
- Clang 3.4-svn is around 10% less performing than GCC 4.7.3
- Mainly due to recursive octree-style map/reduce of most functions, spending a lot of time

before/after branches

- Any optimization on that front won't fit the "Incubation" tag

* Profiling EEMBC
- Found 2 cases where Clang is *a lot* better than GCC 4.7.3 (pruning bmark.c, producing much

smaller objects, and vectorizing telecom/autcor, which GCC can't)
- Most of the time, GCC is slightly better (~5% faster, ~10% smaller, geomean)
- Wrote some scripts to run any two compilers against each other, compare the results and

dump the ratios in a TSV file.

== Plans ==

* Update EEMBC Linaro image with Clang toolchain changes

* Look for low-hanging fruits in EEMBC

* Try comparison with GCC 4.8 and 4.9, too

* Find a way to extract Phoronix results in TSV format
