+### Speed vs. size
+
+On a number of targets, algorithm may be optimized automatically to use assembly
+optimizations. To disable assembly optimizations, use `NO_ASM=1`. This option will
+produce smaller code, but will also impact on the boot time.
+
+ARM-specific ARM optimizations affecting hash and symmetric key ciphers can be
+disabled with the option `NO_ARM_ASM=1`. This is useful for example when you want
+to use SP math optimizations for key verification, but exclude SHA2/AES optimizations
+to save some space.
