This has been asked before and I'm still undecided on the issue.
Although the slow down is small, there is a slow down. It's similar
to the way shared libraries compiled with -fpic are slower than static
libraries compiled without -fpic. If I had to make a decision today,
I'd choose to not make it standard so users who didn't want or need it
wouldn't have it forced on them.
