Compiling with -Os - can it reduce startup time?

Hi all!
So i was thinking, if i compile selected apps with -Os (e.g.:nautilus, terminal) that doesn't require real CPU power, but deserves a better startup time, will i see any improvements or is it just a matter of executable size?

The difference will be very minimal.

Usually -Os even cripples performance apparently, the main benefit of -Os is that you can squeeze more into your RAM.
