Hi, I have this question in my mind for a time now, if I download OpenBSD and install all the applications from packages do OpenBSD and the apps use for example AVX512 ? I mean, if I understand correctly, the compiler should optimize the code for a given set of instructions, given that, for example, the amd64 distribution works on machines with and without AVX I assume that the packages are built without AVX support, is this correct? If so, building from ports would produce a different code? Is the same for the OpenBSD build? Would I get a better performance if I compile from source instead of installing from the packages?
I know that is a silly question, is just that I'm not used to think in terms of compiled languages, and I want to get this question out of my head. xD Elias.
