I tried to find it earlier (when I suggested we use -Os) but  
couldn't. IIRC it was documented in a technote.

The reason given was that often -Os can be faster than -O2  
(especially when multiple apps are running) because the smaller size  
translates into fewer cache misses/less RAM needed etc.
