Here's a quick reference to that previous thread:
  http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-August/007969.html

I guess I meant to turn on -OO on joyride, but didn't quite get around
to it; it would require patching/forking our numpy and python, and
then tweaking the sugar-shell startup to use -OO.  It looked like this
would save ~6M, but I don't know yet how much extra NAND space it
would take for the .pyo files.  I might be able to experiment and make
a build or two on the faster branch to quantify this.
