My impression is that GFortran is no worse than those 3 compilers, or any other available Fortran compiler. One popular Fortran benchmark (Polyhedron) supports that impression, see:

Have you actually looked on the links you've provided? Just count “Yes” and “No”.

GFortran is much better then it was just a few years ago but it's still far behind other implementations. Almost as much as C++11 support is ahead of the others.

FWIW, for my code with Fortran 2003 features (73000 loc stats package), the executable GFortran produces is significantly faster than from the other 5 compilers I use.
