Very little is gained by recompiling *everything* when optmized for pentium. Firstly the pentium optmization does not optimize for Pentium II or Pentium III or pentium pro or k6 or k6-2 or k6-3 or athlon. Also very few applications show a noticable performance boost when compiling with pentium optimizations on.
things like GLX, Glide, maybe xanim might show noticable increases in performance, but generic apps, will not. basically its a waste of time to compile everything for pentium :) If you want real performance gains the best way would be to change compilers, to say, pgcc, although it would take some experimentation to determine what is optimal for speed/stability. nate On Sun, 2 Jan 2000, What name wrote: okey > okey >Are there any globle settings to set a 'make' using gcc with okey >--cpu=pentium?
