 I found this page
 http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_43.html
 and i diceide to try it becouse i was curios of
 optimizations.
 And the results are little strange. 
 I have two more configuration on woody and one redhat9 
 with default packages installed and updated.
 Here are results:

As you see result for testing for -O2 are worst than -O1 :(

I am not very in compiling and so on .
Maybe i am missing something.
It will be good if bigger optimization gives better results:)))

But only marginally, and on a completely artificial test case, and I
can't reproduce it on a different CPU (Athlon64). So I don't think
this is worth examining.
