Well, some processors can do stuff others can't. Basically, for Intel
architectures, the smallest common set is the i386. This does not use any
improvements made to the command set since "then". I don't know actual
examples, but there are possibilities to optimize branching and stuff.

Have a look at the different kernel-image packages. There should be one
matching your CPU.

Latest stable is 2.4.21. If you want to use it in a production server, I'd
recommend reading through changelogs and bug reports to find out what's best
for you.
