Just to see the effects of compiling programs with -Os, I tried to get the sources for firefox 1.5 from testing (which is what I use by default) and compiled it with -Os, instead of -O2. The program was much more responsive, with less use of swap (sorry, I don't have numbers right now) and the installed size of my own compiled package was 2MB less than that of the stock Debian package.
Shouldn't you compile with -O2 yourself to verify the result is the same (size) as the binary package from the Debian archive?
