NONMEM on a SGI R8000

Here are the most aggressive optimization options I've used to
benchmark NONMEM on a single R8000 Power Challenge (from my
makefile):
BIN = nonmem
FFLAG1 = -c -O3 -GCM:aggressive_speculation=ON:array_speculation=ON
FFLAG2 = -Wk,-o=0,-so=0,-r=3
-OPT:roundoff=3:IEEE_arithmetic=3:fast_sqrt=on:fast_exp=on
LFLAGS = -lfastm
F77 = f77,
You can play around with the KAP (-Wk,-o=0,-so=0,-r=3) options
if need be. Also, if you want to turn on parallelization, tack
on the -PFA switches.
