To me the phrase "optimal performance" means that all of the programs I |

use compile, run, are stable, and give a respectable "response time." |

Who cares if Apache serves up your pages 0.005 seconds faster as long as |

they're served up in a respectable time? |

I laugh at the people who run with every cflag optimisation they can |
| 14 |
because chances are there's no real reason for them to need such |
| 15 |
optimisation at such a risk for buggy behavior. |

I think that the people who /need/ these optimisations will know what |
| 18 |
they're doing in advance and how to customise their cflags accordingly. |
