What would be an acceptable size increase? Did the people who
complained
say what would be acceptable or did they just complain? ;^)

What methods do you guys use now to determine what is and what isn't an
acceptable performance hit when, say, you're experimenting with
different
compiler optimization flags?
I'm trying to get an idea of what is and what isn't acceptable. I have
no problem doing the hard work of implementing a fix to pthread_cancel()
under Linux, and I have no problem doing the hard work of measurement,
but
I need some objective criteria for doing the measurement so I don't walk
down a dead-end path.
