It is possible that one of my usual CFLAGS options (-Wall -march=k8
-msse3 -pipe -O2 -ffast-math) overwhelms any -Os/-O2 execution time
Well it looks like I'll have to retract that statement in relation to
-Os/-O2. My current tests with -march=pentium4 -fweb -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer for my laptop or -march=athlon64 -fweb -pipe for
my AMD box show a <5% difference in compile time between -Os and -O2.
I think there was a bigger difference in previous versions of gcc, but
I can't seem to find any notes or anything to support that belief...
Cheers,
