Anything which doesn't have a performance tradeoff is in -O2 already. So every single thing in -Os costs you performance on a micro level. The translation to macro level depends greatly on how things are used (you even have to factor in download times etc)... so that is a fair question to leave up to the user... which is what there is today. -- if you want to mail me at work (you don't), use arjan (at) linux.intel.com Test the interaction between Linux and your BIOS via http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
