Hi Marco!

You could try replacing -O5 with these:

  -optimize-leaf-routines -block -inline -lfa2 -inline-global -specialize
  -unsafe -disable-interrupts -clustering

These are the -O5 options with -no-trace and -no-lambda-info removed.

You can find the options for each optimization level in here:
