If you don't need to compile complex C++ programs, there's no urgent 
reason to upgrade to GCC 3.x series, IMHO.

OTOH, it's quite possible that by playing with the optimization switches, 
you will be able to get GCC 3.x to produce the same quality of code as 
2.95.x.  That's why I suggested top use -O2: -O3 is generally a bad idea.
