Your performance will suck MUCH more.

I don't think it's a compiler's optimization issue. It may be

1)some application sucking resources
2)different app versions
3)closed source drivers (NVIDIA etc.)
4)kernel configuration (just enabling-disabling full preemption changes a LOT 
-- in a better or worse way, it depends on you kernel. with mine I wasn't 
able to burn any CDs with preemption on....)
