Our current Mac OS X builds use GCC-4.2.
On Python2.7, I ran a comparison of gcc-4.2.1 builds versus gcc-4.8.1 and found that the latter makes a much faster Python. PyBench2.0 shows the total running time dropping from 5653ms to 4571ms. The code is uniformly better in just about every category.
You could try running the benchmarks suite to see what that gives: http://hg.python.org/benchmarks/
