Hi all,

I just noticed that when compiling a kernel it is done with the -O flag.
Would there be much speed improvement in the sytem if it was done with
-O3? Would this break the kernel or is the added time it takes to compile
not worth the benfits?

I'd try myself but it takes me 4.5 hours just to do the kernel with -O :-(
