Pre-RFC: Gradual Transition of NixOS x86_64 Baseline to x86-64-v3 with an Intermediate Step to x86-64-v2

As far as I’m aware, we are not using O3 because sometimes decreases performance (by agressive unrolling, etc).

But, has anyone ever benchmarked a full-o3 system to an o2 system?

It might be more relevant than x86-64-v2 since it doesn’t involve dropping hardware.
