Re: How to make all build using --cpu=pentium?
Very little is gained by recompiling *everything* when optmized for
pentium. Firstly the pentium optmization does not optimize for Pentium
II or Pentium III or pentium pro or k6 or k6-2 or k6-3 or athlon. Also
very few applications show a noticable performance boost when compiling
with pentium optimizations on.
things like GLX, Glide, maybe xanim might show noticable increases in
performance, but generic apps, will not. basically its a waste of time to
compile everything for pentium :) If you want real performance gains the
best way would be to change compilers, to say, pgcc, although it would
take some experimentation to determine what is optimal for
speed/stability.
