It seems like LLVM 3.4 has improved a lot on the performance of compiled binaries compared to 3.3. And Apple will be releasing XCode 5.1 soon, which will include LLVM 3.4 and they will be compiling 10.9.2 using 3.4. The same goes for iOS 7.1 as well. It seems like after 4 years, LLVM finally caught up with GCC and actually is performing even better than GCC on many compiles now.
