And that is the reason I wanted to test this a bit more.

However it adds a maintenance burden when fast fixes need to be applied (aka 
now that Fedora 26 alpha is being prepared). The build now due to the arm 
architecture and the huge test suite takes approximately 3 hours and 30 
minutes. Increasing that by two hours is not something I would do during the 
development phase.

On another note, RHEL's python does not have the PGO functionality backported 
to it.

Two hours in a *single* build server is very cheap compared to the
10-20% speedup on *all* computers using this PGO build, no?
