You should not make such general statements based only on your own
experience. Galeon and Mozilla are network-bound on this Athlon, but on my
iMac at work, they are very much CPU-bound.
Even so, I am not in favour of spending resources on CPU-optimized binary
packages, though it would be nice if there were an elegant and reliable way
to supply extra optimization flags to the package build process without
human intervention.
