I have used it with default settings and the both PCRE as you have used and was very happy.

Also due to the fact that I have seen how this 'defaults' was created ;-)

So from my point of view I think that the defaults are more or less well optimized for the most setup.

Of course for some special setups maybe you can use

DLMALLOC_SRC, CFLAGS or SMALL_OPTS and strip the binary and remove the -g but the question is, is the haproy the bottleneck?

The oposit is, if a bug appears it is much more harder to get the informations where the bug is.

There is the variable

DESTDIR
>then ran:

make TARGET=linux26 USE_PCRE=1 USE_STATIC_PCRE=1 \ DESTDIR=/usr/local/haproxy

The only problem is that you then will have the following directory layout:

$(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX) => /usr/local/haproxy/usr/local

Which is a bit hassle ;-(
How about to use PREFIX only if DESTDIR is empty ala:

ifeq ($(DESTDIR),)
PREFIX=/usr/local
else
PREFIX=$(DESTDIR)
endif

opinions about this change?
