I'm rather new to compiling packages but am interested in doing all I 
can to improve the performance of my system.  I dont care if it takes me 
2 days to compile Garnome I'll put in whatever switches/option it takes 
to get it compiled most optimally.  Is there someone that can help me 
with the switches that I should be using and what sort of performance 
gains I might expect.  1%, 5%, 10% ?
