Care to put your money where your mouth is ;-) heh how'd i know you'd say
that..
They've been using pgcc to "Optimize" from thge very begining
let me explain the/a difference between 5.x and 6.x
the 5.x series is "Optimized" for i586
the 6.x series is "Compiled" for i586
Optimized means what it sounds like, if we can use it do if not oh well.
"Compiled for" means if it's not i586 compatible, we're not responsable
when/if it bursts into flames.
