Subject: GCC question - why so slow ?

Hello !

Short question : why is the new version 2.60 of GCC so S-L-O-W ????

I've got an 386/40, 8MB (-> 2MB Smartdrive(TM) cache), XMS 3.0.
Even if I compile a simple hello.c it takes more than 45 seconds from
the C-source to an EXE file. Not to mention a 'real' program
My standard compilation batch is

                         gcc %1.c -o %1 -gcc -lpc

Is this normal for a high end 32bit compiler or what's wrong 
with my computer system ?

Thanx for any answers ...
A shocked user !
