If may ever so slightly, because VC is targetted only at x86 and thus
can afford to take shortcuts that wouldn't be acceptable in gcc. The
code that is compiled in the MinGW and MSVC builds is for all intents
and purposes identical, so there is no performance advantage there.

Based purely on my own anecdotal testing of 1.32b versus ioq3 compiled
with MinGW, there is no measurable difference in terms of framerate, so
I don't perceive there to be a disadvantage.
