-g2 (and -g1, anything but -g0) disables simplifyIfs, because it can
generate lines thousands of characters long, due to commaification ( x = y;
a = b; turns into  x = y, a = b; ). -profiling leaves simplifyIfs on.
Basically -profiling is what you want when you are profiling (at least how
I see things): full performance, just leaving function names intact (and
basic indentation).
