More speed on PPC?

Found this on imaclinux.net! Has anyone tried it?
(It's a gcc option...)

-fno-exceptions - Disable all exceptions handling. Most programs don't need exception handling enabled, disabling will greatly decrease disk size and memory use, and increase speed. For example, compiling Qt with -fno-exceptions, will cut binary size in half, and make KDE programs launch and run much faster. This is also true for other programs.

There are exceptions in C? Or do you mean the few C++/Java/Ada programs available?

Mozilla, Qt and KDE are C++
