One way to get better differences is to disable the JIT :) Doesn't snappy allow us to measure things like startup time and other stuff where not much of JITed code is involved? > So you have no way to measure up to which point more inlining > is still beneficial. I will do some testing on SPEC on when the performance starts dropping. Setting limit to 890 seems bit dangerous. -Os can slow down the code considerably, so if 10% of time program will be running -Os code, we probably get measurable slowdowns overall. Thanks! Honza
