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?

Many Thanks
Athena

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.
