So you are saying that -O2 (that's the default) is significantly
slower than -O3?  That's strange, my experience is that -O3 is
generally not faster than -O2 and sometimes slower.

I don't think so.  The default is -O2, so if you want -O3, you need to
request it by saying "CFLAGS='-O3' ./configure ...".

Do you still have the source directory tree where you b uilt the
previous binary?  If so, please tell what configure-time switches you
used and which compiler switches do you see in src/Makefile.
