This was what I was lead to believe too, but an example shown here a few weeks 
ago dispelled that myth. If I recall correctly ( & I may not ;-)  the particular 
example was the overhead in entering / exiting an interrupt ( fading memory... 
). The particular example compared the overhead between GCC & CVAVR, the 
difference was substantial. Someone more knowledgeable may wish to clarify this.
