Hi Ian,
Thanks for the performance numbers. Any sense of what the build time
numbers might look like for building perf with LTO?

Does `-flto=thin` in clang's case make a meaningful difference of
`-flto`? I'd recommend that over "full LTO" `-flto` when the
performance difference of the result isn't too meaningful.  ThinLTO
should be faster to build, but I don't know that I've ever built perf,
so IDK what to expect.
