Our GCC LTO flags can be improved #132257
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
@thesamesam pointed out to me that our GCC LTO configuration builds serially and as a single translation unit IIUC. This is the slowest configuration possible. On GCC 15, the LTO build takes 10m14.972s, in my first PR, it takes 2m28.287s. This is a multiple factor reduction in build times.
Benchmarks show basically no change in performance --- 1.004x slower on one machine, and 1.000x faster on another machine. This is basically in the realm of noise.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
