On which basis do you think they're "ridiculous" ?
The *only* dangerous cflags in the list I wrote is
-funsafe-math-optimizations. All other are only switches for gcc to
choose a better method for doing things. And having a desktop about
20% more responsive is not ridiculous IMO.

I wouldn't expect any support with the flag mentionned above switched
on. However, I would at least expect a "upstream" resolution status on
any bug submitted by a guy with -finline-functions or -funit-at-a-time
or ...
