I did some performance benchmarks with pybench on an ARMv7 board. To
prevent any third party processes from interfering, the board was
running Ubuntu in single user mode, and the stock glibc. I'll run
another set of benchmarks with our glibc tuned with the proposed flags,
and also do another set of benchmarks on my NSLU2 (XScale/ARMv5) to see
what sorta performance hit we're going to see.
With our current CFLAGS:
* Round 1 done in 62.165 seconds.
* Round 2 done in 62.229 seconds.
* Round 3 done in 61.994 seconds.
* Round 4 done in 61.616 seconds.
* Round 5 done in 62.371 seconds.
* Round 6 done in 63.191 seconds.
* Round 7 done in 62.180 seconds.
* Round 8 done in 62.165 seconds.
* Round 9 done in 61.906 seconds.
* Round 10 done in 62.977 seconds.

That being said, the initial results, while having an improvement, are not very
impressive, and I suspect we'll be seeing a reduction in performance on the
NSLU2 due to being tuned against features its core doesn't get. I'll post more
resorts once I have rebuilt glibc.
