Hi Randy Thanks for your reply.
Surely specifying the CPU architecture is still worth while. For example using this string must give speed improvements. "-O3 -march=prescott -march=prescott -mtune=prescott -mmmx -msse - msse2 -msse3 -m3dnow -pipe -mfpmath=sse" -fomit-fram-pointer" Or am I missing something?

IMHO, a definite no. Not only will you not see the performance gain in day-to-day use of the system, you'll end up having issues that you will have trouble diagnosing. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.26] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:04:00 up 31 days, 13:18, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.06, 0.10 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
