1) Most of the optimization (at least 80% of it) doesn't come from
processor specific instructions but from selecting alternatives
who are better to a specific processor. On a PIII you gain around
10% when using -mcpu=i686 instead of -mcpu=i386 (mcpu=i686 means

Heh, ok, serves me right for complaining. Thanks.

I just would like to say, that this is an extremely ill-thought out change.
It's a change to basic behavior thats been in place for years and years, and
