Patrick, I brought up this very issue early on in the Transgaming forums, and thru email. This was with version 1.0 or something similar. I was told that recompilation for the processor would not result in significantly greater performance. I felt that this was wrong, but never bothered to download the CVS version. So I am glad that you posted the results from your experimentation. At this point Transgaming should be made aware of this fact and that *they* should be the ones releasing an athlon (or similar) rpm. I think they actually may already be aware of the performance increase, but for some reason (probably regarding the issue of support) they do not want to compile for other than i386.
