Evaluate Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO)

zamazan4ik opened this issue · comments

Hi!

Recently I checked Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) improvements on multiple projects. The results are here.

Since PGO showed measurable improvements in compiler-like loads (Clang, Clangd, clang-format, GCC, Rustc, etc.) I think it could be useful to check PGO on RetDec as well.

We need to perform PGO benchmarks on RetDec. And if it shows improvements - add a note about possible improvements RetDec performance with PGO. Providing an easier way (e.g. a build option) to build scripts with PGO can be useful for the end-users too.
