Neil Conway created MESOS-4709:
----------------------------------
Summary: Enable compiler optimization by default
Key: MESOS-4709
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4709
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Reporter: Neil Conway
At present, Mesos defaults to compiling with "-O0"; to enable compiler
optimizations, the user needs to specify "--enable-optimize" when running
{{configure}}.
We should change the default for the following reasons:
(1) The autoconf default for CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS is "-O2 -g". Anecdotally,
I think most software packages compile with a reasonable level of
optimizations enabled by default.
(2) I think we should make the default configure flags appropriate for
end-users (rather than Mesos developers): developers will be familiar
enough with Mesos to tune the configure flags according to their own
preferences.
(3) The performance consequences of not enabling compiler
optimizations can be pretty severe: 5x in a benchmark I just ran, and
we've seen between 2x and 30x (!) performance differences for some
real-world workloads.
