For full speed turn off support for NaNs and infs (-ffinite-math-only or 
- -ffast-math which turns on -ffinite-math-only).

This is a good thing because it isn't a platform specific switch.  That is, 
there is no need for this if alpha stuff.  If the code only does finite math, 
and you wish to generate (potentially) more optimized code specify 
- -ffinite-math-only.

(if code that requires support for NaNs and infs is being compiled with 
- -ffinite-math-only, then it is time for a bug report *grin*)
