  There will be a little benefit, but not that much.  According to the
online gcc manual at...

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options

-O3
    Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2
and also turns on the -finline-functions, -fweb and -frename-registers
options.
