Yes, but "compiles on OSX out of the box" ignores all the bug fixes and
additional features Apple added that did not make it through the FSF process
or are simply made impossible or delayed by the gcc maintainers out of pure
ignorance.  As such, using the main branch of gcc on Mac OS X does more bad
than good. <sigh>

You specify the INI file in the big field called "command-line" :-)

You cannot compare 3.5 and 3.6 because certain bug fixes and changes to
anti-aliasing change render times (on all platforms).  As such, any
comparison between 3.5 and 3.6 regard render times are impossible.  Sorry!
