Sorry, I've overlooked your commit message and therefor misleaded.

is  the test for " i486-compatible code that is optimized"  dry2_i486t ?
That gives the best result on my Geode processor with a Geode optimized 
kernel.
just for the record:
386: 565611
486: 625782
486t: 717424
586: 621118
686: 707214

Good - I believe it had worked out well.
