+Usage: `ic-wasm <input.wasm> -o <output.wasm> optimize <level>`
+
+There are two further flags exposed from `wasm-opt`:
+- `--inline-functions-with-loops`
+- `--always-inline-max-function-size <FUNCTION_SIZE>`
+
+These were exposed to aggressively inline functions, which are common in Motoko programs. With the new cost model, there is a large performance gain from inlining functions with loops, but also a large blowup in binary size. Due to the binary size increase, we may not be able to apply this inlining for actor classes inside a Wasm module.
