This reminds me of when genetic researchers found that the human genome contains less genes than a tomato
I always knew tomatoes were unoptimized
Someone compiled tomatoes without -O3
Go with -Os to optimise for codesize
Often faster anyways as the CPU is eating through instructions faster than the RAM can keep up with. May or may not require compiling as
x86-64-v2, depending on code. In general, never trust performance you didn't benchmark.And yet there are people that will argue that every nucleotide has an exact purpose, as if they were all divinely placed and mutations never occur.
