Using -O2 on mingw produces inferior performing code compared to the
one produced my the MS compiler.  Using -O3 results in comparable
performance but more than twice as large binaries.  So there has to be
a tradeoff between
* easiness of producing releases
* fast code
* small code

Unfortunately the "Choose any three" slogan of SQLite cannot be used
;)  I have to admit that I would prefer having small and fast binaries
being produced by someone other than me :D

I think I will continue to build the binary I need using the MS
compiler myself.  Concerning the O2/O3 question I have no satisfying
answer.

Kind regards,
Markus
