Some Performance Hints

Here are some pieces of information how to build a chicken for maximum performance. Note that only few applications are worth this hacking.

• add C_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_OPTIONS="-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native" to make call optimizations
• add NOPTABLES=1 in make call
• determine the best nursery size for your machine and passing it to make: make NURSERY=1048576 ...
• How about HACKED_APPLY=0 ?

The Famous Chicken Run

Here the fun part starts. The following entries are ordered by increasing runtime. The only time value listed is the user time reported by make check for a freshly built chicken.
