Hello, I do not think this is a good tradeoff between increasing code size (cfg.mk) vs possible performance improvement. - Do you expect somebody is going to use a system for building find release tarballs that is totally memory starved and wil be saved by an additional 48 MiB? OTOH -7e is almost two times *slower* than the default. 5.74 seconds vs 3.77 on i5-6500. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
