Maybe due to things like the Apache ports' Makefile:
#
# Set APACHE_PERF_TUNING env. variable to YES to get maximum performance
#
.if defined(APACHE_PERF_TUNING) && ${APACHE_PERF_TUNING} == YES
OPTIM+= -DBUFFERED_LOGS
CFLAGS+= -O6 -fomit-frame-pointer
.endif
... and not reading the man page or looking at the source.
Hey <program> does this, looks good, and so....
Also, the various optimization levels (et all) choice keeps coming up, but
-O6 is not mentioned in the man pages. Must be magic then. ;)
