Better explanation: -O3 (as opposed to -O2) enables some "expensive" optimizations which can sometimes make the code run faster, but almost always make the code much larger. In most cases, however, the increased size of the program makes it run slower, as it will no longer fit in the instruction cache as well, and will also take longer to load from disk. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
