Add -O optimization level and disable IUP optimization by default #759

Open behdad opened 3 years ago

behdad commented 3 years ago

We should add a -Olevel optimization ala C/C++ compilers. Default should be -O2, and under which IUP optimization disabled.

Based on my measurements IUP optimization saves ~1% in file size but adds significant (20%+ total time) to the build.

I'm optimizing the IUP mechanism here: https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/2264

Are Adobe apps still stumbling over IUP optimizations? 🤔
