Iñigo, you mention in the readme of dr800+ that you improved performance at some point by applying optimizations during compilation. Do you know if Irex applied the same optimizations in compiling the original rc3 firmware ?

In other words, would completely recompiling from source the 2.0-RC3 firmware result in a performance increase even when doing no modification to the source, but using the compiler optimizations mentionned in the readme of dr800+ ?

And by the way, how does one apply those optimization ? Is this something that should appear in the makefile ? I can't seem to find any trace of them in any configure.ac or makefile.am file in the source of your dr800+ package.
