Better performance in theory? To convince anyone you have to at least provide numbers. Otherwise the discussion is a waste of time
how do you expect to get such numbers?even if you test whatever application with -msse2 versus -msse3 mosdt parts of the operating system and the whole libraries are still built with only SSE2 support
the point is compile a single application with new features won#t gain that muc 8until you do the same with most libraries used by the software) but having the whole distribution is a summary with a completly different behavior than a single test of software xyz
if there would be no difference kernel upstream won't invest that much time for runtime-cpu-detection (look at the bootlog on different hardware)
