Starting from 7.4.1 on P4 and FreeBSD 5.x (exclude 5.0 - gcc in this edition have optimization error) I use next configure command ---------------------------------- ./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres-7.4.1 --with-pgport=5432 --with-pam --enable-syslog --enable-depend 'CFLAGS= -O3 -pipe -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -msse -mmmx -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4' --------------------------------- w/o any problem. As I remember improvement as always task depended and have 30-100%.
