You know GCC doesn't have a -O4 optimisation level, right? ;)

I've seen people use -O4, -O6, -O64 ("it's a nice round number and higher than 3" he said, so at least he knew what he was aiming for), and of course glibc, of all things, used -O99 for donkey's years. GCC obviously needs an "-Olots" for these people.

It should be called -Over9000 though

It's on my default makefile since forever, because clang does not like -O5 and beyond and I am too lazy to look up which is the biggest effective level for each compiler...
