## Optimization

## After configuring and before building. In //mpv/build/c4che/_cache.py

// On the line that says CFLAGS = [ *lots of stuff* ]

// replace '-O2',
// with

'-O3', '-pipe', '-fgraphite-identity', '-floop-strip-mine', '-floop-nest-optimize', '-fno-semantic-interposition', '-fipa-pta', '-flto', '-fdevirtualize-at-ltrans', '-flto-partition=one', '-g0', '-s', '-march=bdver2', '-mtune=bdver2', //Substituting bdver2 with your CPU's microarch, I.E. haswell, tigerlake, etc.

// On the line that says LINKFLAGS = ['-rdynamic']
// make it look like this
LINKFLAGS = ['-rdynamic', '-Wl,-O3', '-flto']
