Here's an interesting comparison of compilers/settings, looks like I should try out intel's compiler.

I spent a long time modifying the makefile for Intel Composer XE and finally got it to compile. The result is rather disappointing however - no significant increase in PPS. I used the -fast option which is supposed to give rather good optimizations, but I'm guessing there are more optimizations to be made. I will keep looking for those.
