It's extremely unlikely you could observe any difference using these
tools on any remotely modern hardware. In practical terms it doesn't
matter.
But if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you could do some
profiling, I guess; or decompile the binaries and eyeball the
generated instructions. I'd

I have compiled dwm & st using -march=x86-64-v3 (tried -march=x86-64-v2 also).
To be honest they are both (dwm & st) fast and snappy with their default
configuration and I cannot spot any difference when compiled with
-march=x86-64-v3 or v2. Is there any point adding them?
