By Henry, on December 31st, 2009 Sun claims their Sun Studio 12 compiler performs well on SPEC (Free Compiler Wins Nehalem Race by 2x). So I compared PHP 5.3.1 running PHPspeed 1.0 beta (using “Real World PHP Benchmark”) and xcache 1.3.0, compiled with Sun Studio 12, GCC 4.4.1, and Intel C Compiler 11.1.064.
