### Building for maximum performance
Building CPython with `--enable-optimizations` will result in a faster
interpreter at the cost of significantly longer build times. Most notably, this
enables PGO (profile guided optimization). While your mileage may vary, it is
common for performance improvement from this to be in the ballpark of 30%.
```sh
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS='--enable-optimizations --with-lto' PYTHON_CFLAGS='-march=native -mtune=native' pyenv install 3.6.0
```
You can also customize the task used for profile guided optimization by setting
the `PROFILE_TASK` environment variable, for instance, `PROFILE_TASK='-m
test.regrtest --pgo -j0'` will run much faster than the default task.
### Checksum verification
If you have the `shasum`, `openssl`, or `sha256sum` tool installed, python-build will
