Hello,

Here is my cflag variable.

CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

(1) According to the CFlags Central thread on forums and the gcc manual
optimisations page (link [1]) the -O3 flag includes the
-fomit-frame-pointer optimisation.  Is this right?  If so, why are there
recommendations to include it in addition to -O3 (link [2&3]?

[1]http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize%20Options
[2]http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3.html (stable)
[3]http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3opt.html
(experimental)

(2) How can I make my Cflag above more aggressive to give better
performance?  At the moment, it is quite basic and safe but I'm pretty
sure more can be done with it.  Anyone have a P4 and can vouch for
additional optimisations?

I am not willing to switch down to -march=pentium3 as I have had no
problems with pentium4.

Much appreciated.

Many thanks.
Dhruba Bandopadhyay.
