I do believe in this, too. In theory. I'd prefer to see some numbers.
I just recompiled Qt and Designer with -O3 (gcc 3.0.1) and got at a saving
of 5 kB in the application opposing a plus of ~1K in the library (insert()
and insertSingle() methods changed). I might have to convert and compile
more code to get clearer results.

I should take a closer look at the suggest pragmas directives.

Yes. But there are so many factors playing a role that is almost
impossible to judge from a plain look.
