------- Additional Comments From dje at gcc dot gnu dot org 2004-12-29 18:00 ------- Increasing the value of MOVE_RATIO and CLEAR_RATIO decreases SPEC performance. The uses of the macro may be overloaded and confusing the cost model. Or it could be harmed by register allocator and spilling. But overall, the default values of MOVE_RATIO and CLEAR_RATIO based on movmemsi appear to be good.
