I would guess just from the name that this (and some similarly named options) apply only to Cyrix 5x86 processors. Somehow, I don't think you'll run into too many of them in benchmarks these days. Just a hunch. > CPUTYPE ?= pentiumpro I recall a thread somewhere recently about pentiumpro being decidedly suboptimal for some new CPUs. Although, on 4.x with the older version of gcc, it may not matter. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
