As per the instructions from Anonymous, I downloaded the trial version of SunStudio 9 and rebuilt Ruby using the configuration options he mentioned, altering things only slightly. Here was my setup:

CC=cc
CFLAGS='-dalign -fns -xbuiltin=%all -xlibmil -xtarget=ultra2e -xO5 -xipo'
LD=cc
LDSHARED='cc -G -xO5 -xipo -xtarget=ultra2e'
LDFLAGS='-xO5 -xipo -xtarget=ultra2e'
EXTLDFLAGS='-xO5 -xipo -xtarget=ultra2e'

I couldn't get Ruby to build against openssl when using -xarch=v9a (i.e. 64 bit), so I removed that. Otherwise, things went fine.

The result? Better, but no better than gcc. When I ran against the benchmarksuite, the gcc build was still (barely) faster than the cc version, except in the string split tests (again, barely).

Verdict: tie.
