Compile performance of Linux kernels in mainline gcc + code size

[Andi Kleen]

As an addendum to my previous post:

Here's also a comparison of the Linux kernel code size between 3.3-hammer and 3.4 on 
x86-64 (see previous post for other details) 

This is 3.3: 

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3848609  845308  512376 5206293  4f7115 vmlinux

And this is 4.0-20041030:

3879469  856616  499944 5236029  4fe53d vmlinux-40

.text segment has grown by about 30k, data by ~11k
