Fundamentals of Operating Systems Course

Looks like fedora is compiling cpython with the -o3 flag, which does aggressive function inlining among other optimizations.
This seems to improve python benchmarks performance by at most 1.16x at a cost of an extra 3MB in binary size (text segment). Although it does seem to slow down some benchmarks as well though not significantly.
O1 - local register allocation, subexpression elimination
O2 - Function inlining only small functions
O3 - Agressive inlining, SMID
