You want to allow some room IMHO:
- there will always be some cases where -Og is slower than -O0
and we don't want endless case by case discussions
- If the generated file size is reduced by 50% for 10% longer compile
time, I'd like to get such things in.
Nobody will notice 44 minutes vs 40 minutes of full app compilation,
everyone in a edit/compile one file/link full app/debug cycle will
notice immediately a 50% reduction in link time.
