Comment Is the max-C really the best set of optimizations? (Score 4) 302
I'm not sure about the set of optimizations he uses for his "max-C" setting, which is supposedly GCC with all the optimization options enabled. For example, he uses -funroll-all-loops, but the info for GCC says:
`-funroll-all-loops' Perform the optimization of loop unrolling. This is done for all loops and usually makes programs run more slowly.
Likewise, he doesn't use the -fprofile-arcs or -fbranch-probabilities options which would probably speed up some of the code quite a bit, I would imagine.
