I'd turn off cpudetection unless you're planning to copy the compiled binaries to other systems as it may cause a slight slowdown as a result of having to choose the right code paths at runtime rather than using static inline code. You probably don't need both toolame and twolame as they both do pretty much the same thing (MP2 encoding) and you're unlikely to need to use SDL for A/V output so you could turn that off, although these will just save a little space rather than giving you any performance boost. On the basis that you're using a Core i-series processor, you could turn on mmxext and ssse3 (although I don't know how much difference, if any, these make - it depends on whether and how much they are used in the codecs/filters that you're using).

Regards,

Stephen
