Holy smokes!!! You're crazier than I! I never compile my kernel with
anything higher than -O2. The kernel config automatically puts
"-march=i686" when you select an i686 class processor, so I leave it as
is.
Besides, from the DebianPlanet discussions I've found that CPU
optimization for programs does not always improve performance. For such
applications like gzip and bzip2 it does, but for others, I don't think
it's worth the recompile. Or maybe I'm wrong?
