mmoy,

I've noticed on Win32 is that the size of the executable is 60% larger with PGO. PGO adds about a 7% performance improvement on my application so I think that it's well worthwhile

But it must increase usage of L1 and L2, which apparently is fine (since you have a gain) but when the user has other apps that running at the same time, increased usage of caches will have adverse effect on other apps running...

Now if only memory prices would drop a bit.
