The answer to this is situational dependant.

For example, for me, the speed of compilation at -O2 is very important
because I'm constantly doing full tree build regressions.

There are large groups of us who pine for compilation to be as fast
as the old MIPS compilers were, and they were fully optimizing
and even had a more advanced register allocator than GCC has now.
