L.S.,
On our weather forecasting code (compiled with -O3 -flto and linked with
-O3 -flto -fwhole-program) I get a speedup of 65 seconds per time step
in the model integration vs. 75 seconds with -O3 alone.
That is a 10/75 ~ 13 % improvement.
This compares favorably to an experiment I did back in '92:
Compiling all forecast Fortran code with f2c to make it C code, combine
all the C files in one file in the right order, and slap "static inline"
on all functions. then compiling the resulting file with -O3.
That gave me 10 % at that time.
