Apple recommends the use of -Os instead of -O2 in general anyway; in
Apple's compilers, -Os means basically "-O2, except for optimizations
that would make the binary larger". (If you want "always generate the
smallest possible code" that's -Oz.) The claim is that the smaller
code size improves loading time and cache locality to result in a more
responsive application.
