The description of 'fastest performance' is precise though 🙂 (and 
what you'd want for a benchmark if measuring maximum possible 
performance even when trading safety).

This is why we probably need some wiki page on best practices for

compiler flags in the next few weeks then regardless to help with 
some efforts.
