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.
