could you give it a whirl and rebuild glibc, perl and gimp with -O2 and -march=pentium2 (or pentium3) Since you didn't state the core in your celerons, you have to look it up with the cpu-cflags guide before blindly selecting the arch. You see, both celerons and durons are rather impaired cache-wise, and to use-O3 is sometimes very bad performancewise in those systems. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
