  There was a thread about that issue, I think it was in this same group,
and there were good compiler flag suggestions there. I don't remember
the name of the thread, but you should browse previous threads here.

  Anyways, the usual gcc optimization flags (which are not platform-specific)
used are something like "-O6 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer".
  Besides these, you should use the optimization flags dependant on your
system. IIRC these include several -m* flags, such as -mcpu=(your cpu type)
and other similar ones.
  "gcc -v --help |& less" should give you a full list of options.
