Commonality of instruction set does not necessarily imply commonality of
optimisations. The PIV is quite different from a PPro,
architecture-wise. A P4 distribution would probably be a win over a 686
distribution - on the other hand, the jump probably wouldn't be as big
as from 386 to 686, which nobody seems to have demonstrated as being
terribly necessary anyway.
