Oh no, sorry. The x86_64 packages are of course not optimized for
pentium4, gcc would bail out if told so. Here are the typical
optimization flags for x86 archs and compatibles on FC3 packages:
%__global_cflags -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
optflags: i386 %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables
optflags: i486 %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=i486 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
optflags: i586 %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=i586 -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
optflags: i686 %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=pentium4
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables
optflags: athlon %{__global_cflags} -m32 -march=athlon
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables
optflags: ia64 %{__global_cflags}
optflags: x86_64 %{__global_cflags} -m64 -mtune=nocona
You can rebuild the packages with different optflags, if you like, to
see whether there is any difference. Note that on x86_64 MMX in mythtv
does not compile, so you will see a considerable performance drop wrt
i386. Perhaps trying the i386 packages would not be a bad idea.
