I personally would love to see the braindead person that tries to run mpeg2enc on a i586 w/o mmx. With 1,1 Ghz Duron on 480x576 I get an average fps of 7-9 with mmx enabled. divide that with 10 ( if there is a pentium w/o mmx with 100 Mhz) and then with 4 (as shown, performace w/o mmx) would result in 10 frames per minute, would make a half minute of video in an hour. So i would say there is nobody that is harmed by only having mmx enabled mjpegtools. I guess the same math can be done on other packages too. (And I don't speak about recompiling KDE or sth. like that, I mean applications that are usefull only with optimization) -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
