If -fno-tree-pre disables PPRE, then it doesn't change much (4.3 relative to
4.2 with -O2):
CPU2006 -O2 -O2 -fno-tree-pre
410.bwaves -6% -8%
416.gamess
433.milc
434.zeusmp
435.gromacs
436.cactusADM
437.leslie3d -26% -27%
444.namd
447.dealII
450.soplex
453.povray
454.calculix
459.GemsFDTD -12% -12%
465.tonto
470.lbm
481.wrf
482.sphinx3
Is PPRE enabled at -O2 at all? I couldn't confirm that from the original
patches, which enabled PPRE only at -O3.
PPRE is only enabled at -O3.
