No, as that would imply a Mach-O build rather than a PEF Carbon version.

When I tested the IBM compiler betas (they were free) I was not too 
convinced, but that was only measuring a PPC 7450 target.  It was slower 
than the CodeWarrior version.

It is not unrealistic, but seems to be at the top end of what I would 
expect.  If you manage to get rid of most other processes and minimise GUI 
activity, plus, don't forget to set the energy saver processor speed to 
"highest" not "automatic" (I know that option is available on G5 iMacs, but 
I am sure about PowerMacs), it might be possible.
