I don't know anything really about LLVM, but did read recently the
comparison betweer GCC and LLVM under the latest FreeBSD. 20-30% faster
compiles, much less memory usage etc. But then FreeBSD really had no
choice, because GCC & GDB moved to GPLv3, which FreeBSD can't support.
Hence the default GDB is v6.x (luckily the ports collection has v7.x).

 Whether it's related or not, FreeBSD seems to have
