Even if you're an optimization freak (and there's nothing wrong with
that,) the efficacy of tweaks like loop unrolling is highly dependent
on machine particulars (cache size, etc.) - it's difficult if not
impossible to establish a one-size-fits-all recipe for True Optimum
Performance that could be handed out to non-freaks, as is being
suggested here. Some level of tweaking may be warranted (e.g. unrolling
loops in a way that suits the particular algorithm,) but there's little
point trying to generalize deep grease-monkey fine-tuning across *all
target systems* even for a single distro, let alone The World At Large.
