I suspect it is more complicated than that, as there are a number of
parameters that determine inlining decisions. It's also not clear whether
the ones for -O3 are generally better than the ones with -O2, or if it's
just that whatever changed caused a few surprises but is otherwise
preferable.

Did you see regressions in specific modules, or just a general slowdown
or growth in object size as the result?
