To understand the law's idea, to see first the red-A & blue-B graphic.

GCC throws more time optimizing than analyzing lexically unless it
deactivates the optimizing option -O.

I redacted a new "Speedup in a sequential program" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law with a numerical example for more clarification of the idea of usefulness of the Amdahl's Law.

To see if you are understood better it than before, little stupid!

Sincerely :)
