Hi Mark,
I actually wasn't planning on using 64bit anyway
I'm wondering if I should set my CFLAGS to -march=x86-32 or leave it as
-march=pentium4? Are they essentially the same? I already took your
previous suggestion and enabled vSMP support, though I haven't moved the
drive to it's new home as of yet.

x86-32 will be the lowest common settings for all 32bit cpus.
so pentium4 is the setting I believe you should use.
I can tell you from my experience, since I use PentiumD cpu, that
recompiling with -march=prescott gave me better performance then
-marh=x86-32, especially in disk intensive and multimedia applications,
such as video encoding and large database access.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to switch my CFLAGS to that. I might
as well make the system run as fast as it possibly can.
What did you set your MAKEOPTS to? I was thinking -j3 because of the
two cores plus one. Did you do the same?
