Suggestion Raised For Using PGO + LLVM BOLT To Optimize More Fedora Packages
Outside of the likes of the Arch Linux based CachyOS and Intel's Clear Linux there aren't too many distributions that widely rely on aggressive compiler optimizations in the name of bettering the system performance
Using PGO with both LLVM Clang and GCC has also proven to be a valuable affair assuming you are able to collect accurate profiles of the application/software being compiled. But both approaches to relying on the compiler to provide faster, more optimized binaries places an additional burden on packagers and mandate further testing. At this point it seems to be more staged as just an idea rather than the basis of an actual change proposal or commitment to engage in the work for carrying out more tuned packages.
