My guess is that getting rid of '-g' (i.e., debugging symbols) would be
the most profitable optimization. My understanding is that the debug

Hi there !
I was wondering, about the fact some Linux distributions are optimized
for i586 processors : what does it really change ? Are there any benchmarks
comparing a distribution giving the choice of both i386/i586 ?
Thanks in advance !
Mathias
No benchmarks on hand, but I can tell you the difference between them
is that the i586 distros (like Linux-Mandrake) are compiled using gcc's
optimizations. Theoretically, using the most advanced instruction set
you can will improve performance, as newer chips do things like combine
multiple

I don't know any, but you
