Also note that (in my experience), I did not start to see performance
improvements on the PC (particularly P4)
until I started doing processor specific optimizations (eg. -mcpu=pentium4).

When I got my act together with options, I started getting ~15% improvement.
Running strip made things almost
as small, but no performance improvement came from it....at leasrt for us.

Your experience may differ....

Hi Chris,

Are you compiling with debug information?  Does the strip (e.g., strip 
myexec) command make the executable smaller?

C, or C++?

If C++, lots of templates?

Hello,

Could someone explain to me why the size of my executable increased by
25% when I compiled with 3.2 versus 2.953?  This is a major bummer. 
Also, with the increased size, I have not seen any performance
increase.  Is there something I am missing?

Thank you,
Chris
