New submission from Alexander Riccio <[email protected]>:
Similarly to bpo-40145, I've tweaked build options to reduce the size of the
binary.
This patch turns on (for release builds) Whole Program Optimization, MinSpace
optimization, /Ob2 AnySuitable function inlining, /Zo (so that people can still
debug it when lots of code has been optimized out), /OPT:REF dead code
elimination, /OPT:ICF COMDAT folding, Link Time Code Generation, and DebugFull
debugging information creation.
For debug builds, it enables all of that, except instead of the MinSpace
optimization, it's only /Ob2 with custom optimization. My intent is to not
optimize any asserts or similar checks, while still getting the benefit of
dead and duplicate code elimination.

If this patch is merged, and all 7 million (estimated) Python developers update
their installation, I calculate that I just saved the PSF 21GB worth of
bandwidth costs :)
