To obtain 200-250% in speed gain won't be possible for this GCC optimizing compiler because of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law
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.
