If everything else is the same, that seems like a solid reason to prefer the ARM architecture even setting aside 1:1 comparisons. Isn't faster compilation and execution the whole point of a faster processor?



The assertion is that compilation might be faster since there are fewer optimizations, and therefore runtime would be slower.
