Why build kernel for minimum size?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I notice that the FC2 kernels are built for size, not speed.  (The config 
option for compiling for size is selected.)

What is the thinking behind this?  Is the configuration biased toward 
low-memory systems?  Are there CPU cache considerations that effective 
make a small build (-Os) faster than a more optimized (-O2) build?

Thanks.
