Ok, thanks.

I have gfortran 4.4.1, gcc-4.4.1 on my system and this is what I get.
$ gcc -O3 -march=native nbody.gcc-5.c
$ time ./a.out 50000000
-0.169075164
-0.169059907
real 0m7.799s
user 0m7.796s
sys 0m0.004s
$ gfortran -O3 -march=native nbody.f90
$ time ./a.out 50000000
-0.169075164
-0.169059907
real 0m10.947s
user 0m10.949s
sys 0m0.000s
It still shows that code compiled with gfortran is a bit slower than
the one compiled with gcc. But the ratio is a bit better.
gfortran/gcc (for 4.4.1) = 10.947/7.799 = 1.4036
gfortra/gcc (for 4.3.2) = 151.7/77.4 = 1.9599
May be you can upgrade to the latest gfortran version for a little bit
improvement in performance.
Also, you might get better help at the gfortran mailing list
fortran@gcc.gnu.org . It is frequented by gfortran developers who know
the ins and outs of the gfortran source.
