@javispedro - oh, I remember now . However, I've never said (IIRC) that -mthumb will bring performance boost, besides what it is all about - less RAM usage. Though if you give some idea what and how to benchmark I'll try to find some spare time these days and do it.

*If there is speedup, for sure it won't be because of -mthumb, but because of the newer compiler. For example - some of the openssl algos are 2 times faster when compiled with gcc 4.7.2, despite -mthumb

@estel - that's been announced a couple of times already
