I've seen a runtime decrease of 3.4% on average over three runs in one example raising the optimization level from -O2 to -O3 in gcc.
bwa uses lots of bit shift operators. It seems -O3 makes a difference here, see this trivial example:

I aligned one million reads to a mm10 using the command line
bwa aln -t 4 -f reads.sai mm10.fa Andreas_BWA/SRR1519948.1_1000000.fastqTime went down from 62.8s to 60.6s.
