May I suggest -fast-spec (or anything with spec in it), I think it will
avoid conflict and confusion if someone want to commit in the future
something more appropriate for another benchmark (or newer spec) or
application set.
We're not a closed source vendor, we have nothing to hide
about the purpose of our flags :).
It would be too bad to loose work that has been done in testing
out flags impact on high profile benchmarks on particular
platforms.
