Sometimes I'm running vim or kate. If you're interested in some tests, not relevant for desktop systems, there are some I made: Time wasted to compress a 416 mb tar: bzip2 gzip -O3 2m40.882s 1m20.445s -Os 2m39.314s 1m21.157s decompress: bzip2 gzip -O3 0m52.575s 0m4.972s -Os 0m53.387s 0m4.828s Convert 203 Mbs MP3s to WAV using LAME: -O3 14m4.461s -Os 16m50.599s from wav to mp3: -O3 1m1.708s -Os 1m12.841s Now I'm emerging -e world with -Os. When it is finished, I'll mail you the results. Alex -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
