Some one *please* explain to me why they keep insisting on using
something other than "-O"?  How much do we need to document that anything
above that can be dangerous on FreeBSD.  I'm *seriously* tempted to
remove -On (where "n" is a number) from the compiler.  Have people
actually benchmarked their apps and seen a difference in speed, or is it
just the "Oh, I need the fastest baddest code I can get" syndrome?
