I don't have a good answer to this, but in my own tests of -O2 vs. -O3
with some complex C++ code I got a HUGE improvement with -O3, so now I
alays use it. On the advice of other suggestions on this list, I might try
the -fnounroll-loops, though. It's also possible that more optimization
works better with C++.
