libfontmanager in JDK is built with default compiler optimisation flags. By increasing it to a higher level as used on most other libraries, some tests which attemp to exercise some of that native code can run 5-20% faster on Windows and Solaris. This particularly will help cases where complex text layout is used as that uses a significant amount of native C++ code in libfontmanager. There is a small increase in disk footprint - amounting to just about 30Kbytes on Windows 32 bit but this is presumably also in line with what is already happening in all other libs.
