In my tests, --param large-function-growth=200 was sufficient to yield 60% of the performance increase in the fatigue benchmark obtained by modifying both -finline-limit and --param large-function-growth. Unlike increasing -finline-limit, none of the other pb05 benchmarks showed even minor regressions in speed.
