Were those measurements done on i386 as well? I'd be content 
with keeping the current minimal - and mostly documentary - 
patch that only does this on 64-bit. I just wanted to record the 
current benchmark numbers mostly.

Also see the discussion with Linus - this is by no far an 
unconditionally good option and we'll probably have to wait for 
more GCC action (-Ok or so) before being able to enable size 
optimizations everywhere without unacceptable trade-offs.

Thanks,

	Ingo
