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....
