Can cv::dft() be sped up with the right compiler flags?

For some time I have been using cv::dft() on a large image and it always took about 4-5 seconds. I noticed it now takes about 30 seconds for the same image and I wonder why. I recently recompiled OpenCV, without having saved the original compiler flags, so maybe I am missing a flag now that speeds up the dft function?

This is the current build configuration:

can you try with a more recent 3.4 branch, not 3.2.0 ?

(this would add additional CPU dispatch options and more)

I guess (would take some more time and risk than recompiling my current version), but I had been using OpenCV 3.2.0 all the time and it jumped from 5 to 30 seconds after recompiling...

It looks like WITH_IPP=ON did the trick.

As a side note, padding can make a huge difference as well, as explained here: https://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutor...
