its a waste of time, don't bother. 1) it won't buy any sigificant speed increase in 99.9% of programs. and 2) there is no i686 optimization AFAIK, only plain jane Pentium optimization which does not help on PII, PIIIs or any AMD/non-intel chip. the biggest thing you get out of this type of optimization is increased unreliability due to miscompilation. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
