Do you have numbers for the effect of "-fno-strength-reduce"? Back when I
added it I couldn't see any difference at all to any benchmarks, so I've
had no real incentive to even try to remove it.

Does anybody have any numbers that show that it actually matters for the
kernel (I know it matters a lot for some other things, but I'm looking for
something that really makes a difference in kernel-land)?
