What ABS packages do you recompile to gain speed?

I'm curious what core packages do you recompile from ABS with custom compiler flags to gain speed? GTK? Qt? Others? What flags do you use?

Re: What ABS packages do you recompile to gain speed?

see this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107418

I don't recompile core packages for speed, only for additional options, for example chromium, mpd for libcue support (doesn't really work though), conky for nvidia support.

CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ftree-vectorize -ftree-loop-linear -ftree-loop-distribution -ffast-math"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fvisibility-inlines-hidden"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,--hash-style=gnu"
