From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It would be a cool if you report back in a separate post if you discovered anything interesting. It's not like we're overwhelmed by too much activity here.

Also, while I think it should be obvious, but I forgot to clarify that if you're inheriting from a profile with codegen-units = 1, then you need to set that explicitly to a higher value in the inheriting profile.

yeah, if I find any dramatic improvement I'll follow up
