Most cameras write a timestamp also into the exif data. If you look at such an image, you will find something like this "2021:01:18 08:46:28"

Don't expect any "WOW". If your application uses MMX, it does not lose this option on a non-mmx-kernel, and vice versa.

Not all i586-CPUs have MMX, so I'm not sure if the kernel would use MMX in i586-mode (despite for runtime-mmx-detection, but this option you can have without march=i586).

I did some tests with my most used apps (gcc, tar, bzip2...) about 2 and a half year ago with i386 and amd64-kernels. Nearly the same behavior, with one exception: I/O (disk and console) is much faster on amd64, but I don't know why... If anyone is interested in details, I can search the results of this tests runs.

You also have different RAID-configurations. Try these tests again with 100GB data, at least 3 times with every disk you want to test. At the same server. Then you may start comparing results.
