On the note of blogs and completely offtopic, I see that blogspot also has a 
default of using like 25% of your screen for the actual _content_.  I just 
upgraded my own blog to WordPress 1.5.x and find many of the 'themes' I have 
looked at also are stuck in some 1997 era desire to let users with 14" 
monitors running at 640x480 see all the content.  I was all for that back in 
1999, but today, well, I'm looking into tweaking the CSS for my blog's style 
to use the _whole_ _darn_ _screen_.

Sigh.

Actually reading through some of the article, though, wow can you produce 
content.  How long did that take?

On the subject of using -O3, I had read that -Os is actually sweet because it 
allows more of the code to remain in CPU cache.  Since I just use whatever 
the package maintainer used, all my stuff is probably -O2.
