I just did a similar comparison this weekend ("-march=native" vs "... -sse -sse3" vs ".... -mfpmath=sse" on AMD64). But I tricked myself by forgetting to disable "real weather fetch" (stupid!). So I mainly compared the effect of this weekends' changing weather (cloud) scenarios... :-( Better do not repeat my mistake... :-) cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
