My apt-build.conf file is:
build-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/build
repository-dir = /var/cache/apt-build/repository
Olevel = -O2
march = -march=pentium3
mcpu = -mcpu=pentium3
options = 
(no strange or advanced or unuseful options)

recompiling lib6 & GTK libs with this makes gtk2 programs
(galeon, gaim) a bit more "resposive" here.
