There are many changes in 2.95, so it is possible that you have just bad luck
and some of new features hurts your program. At the average 2.95 is a win
(pretty noticeable).

I would recommend you to try -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 option. It turns off
stack alignment code and makes executable smaller, function calling faster
and may reduce performance of fp code, if some of the temporaries spilled to
stack in internal loop gets missaligned.
