Wow. There are Pentium machines still running out there?
You do know that Pentium optimizations are only for Pentiums and that
such binaries could actually run slower on anything Pentium-II/Pentium
Pro and above than i386 (actually i486 optimized binaries iirc - must
check gcc) optimized binaries due to the architecture differences of the
Pentium?
Been such a long time since i saw any mention of i586.
