Hmm. implied volatility was refactored when equity options were, so it
might have lost performance somewhere. Did you try running a profiler?

Yes and no. With gcc, debug information and optimization are somewhat
independent. When no options are provided, gcc uses '-g -O2' which adds
debug info to the binaries but at the same time enables most
optimizations.

You can try

./configure CXXFLAGS='-O3'

to optimize a bit more.
