[gentoo-performance] Advice for CFLAGS

[Florian Philipp]

Hi guys!

I know, it must be boring to hear that question again and again and again but 
I would really appreciate it if you could share some of your experience and 
insight with me.

I'm planning to set up a gentoo laptop. It's got only 512MB RAM DDR2-667 and 
the slowest of all Core Solo CPUs (T1200).

However, it has got quiet a bit L2 cache (2048kb) compared to 2x512kb on my 
desktop PC (AMD64 X2). 

Now I'm wondering if a more frequent use of O3 might be a good idea because of 
that much cache or if it would just fill up my RAM.


Thanks in advance!
