Subject:   Any major downside to using "-O3" when compiling?
Message-ID:  <38C1422B.16524.3085E0@localhost>

	After poking around the cc and gcc manpages, I noticed the "-O" option for optimization. 
I've now compiled a few items with that option and have noticed that:

1- It takes longer to compile (general resource hog. noticibly longer with -O3).
2- The binaries are larger (kernel size increased about %7)

	Is there any other downside?
