I hear Pentium Classic optimisations make programs slower for other processors... makes me wonder what I should optimize for... I have had no problems with my Celeron and Optimizations for PPro/Celeron/P2 though. Should I try optimising for K6? Will this help with K7/Athlon? It is interesting to note that the kernel-image-2.4.9-k6 image is labelled as for K6/K7/Athlon, so this should be fine then... (I see 2.4.9 entered "local" mirror today.
