Description
Optimize release builds without impacting compile times. The alternatives include:
With single codegen-unit we make the compilation a bit slow, but that is much better tradeoff when compiling for releases given the optimizations that can be gained. Similarly, Fat LTO didn't give much of a gain from binary size perspective, have to figure out if there were any gains in terms of memory locality, but that is a harder question to answer, thus chose to go with Thin LTO.
