9 Well it looks like I'll have to retract that statement in relation to
10 -Os/-O2. My current tests with -march=pentium4 -fweb -pipe
11 -fomit-frame-pointer for my laptop or -march=athlon64 -fweb -pipe for
12 my AMD box show a <5% difference in compile time between -Os and -O2.

14 I think there was a bigger difference in previous versions of gcc, but
15 I can't seem to find any notes or anything to support that belief...
