I don't think someone would really file a bug report for this It's true that my OCD about optimizing becomes painful when I see my flags overruled but I (still) can control myself ;-)
Your cflags really aren't going to change much. It's better to stick with something that's been tested by a large number of people and is known to be safe. For instance, consider the 3rd post in this forum thread [1]. Even with an application like povray which is highly math and CPU driven tossing in all kinds of crazy cflags only results in a maximum of 0.05s (1.7%) improvement over the baseline -O2 -march settings, and that sort of difference in times is almost certainly within the margin of error. Most of the cflags (including -O3) actually decreased performance. [1] http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=613970 -- [email protected] mailing list
