Individually each -O2 performs better than -Os, cumulatively the

-O2 because they are so performance critical and small
Wouldn't it then make more sense to specify in the source the
optimization strategy to use? Maybe through a compiler #pragma,
as an override for the overall strategy set at the file level.
Then we could mark the small and performance critical parts
as such, and turn the default file level strategy to -Os.
