Were those measurements done on i386 as well? I'd be content
with keeping the current minimal - and mostly documentary -
patch that only does this on 64-bit. I just wanted to record the
current benchmark numbers mostly.

Also see the discussion with Linus - this is by no far an
unconditionally good option and we'll probably have to wait for
more GCC action (-Ok or so) before being able to enable size
optimizations everywhere without unacceptable trade-offs.

Thanks,

Ingo
