Benches have to be performed on x86 to have any valuable sense. With everything enabled, I expect on many applications on x86 to get on a regular basis 10% to 15% performances hit. Of course, on an architecture like amd64, I rather expect it to rarely be over a few percent. And as despise-able x86 is, it's still by a definite margin one of the most used architecture in Debian. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
