Re: [Inkscape-devel] Windows: why do we build with -O2?

Hi all, Why do we build with -O2 instead of O3?

Because -O3 compilation takes a lot more time and memory than -O2, yet the improvement is minor in most cases.

It may make sense for compiling releases, but for regular development -O2 is enough. So unless you can show that under some specific circumstances Inkscape performs much better with -O3, I think the default should stay at -O2.
