It generates smaller but somewhat slower code.
IMHO unless instruction cache misses are a major issue (and even then) it doesn't make sense unless you optimize the code for size in general - which you clearly are not doing.
Admittedly I do not know if anyone benchmarked it lately.
Btw. do you know anything concerning armv8 support? Would be good to get testing of that early on as well (though of course not possible before official support, but with even the low-end making the transition on Android I would expect support for it soonish).
