[NTLUG:Discuss] Voodoo3 versux XFree86 - SUCCESS

Yes, it should.  There are pentium optimizations and mmx optimizations the
compiler can do.  The mmx depends on whether X includes any mmx code.  I don't
know of any benchmarks for different optimizations for x per se, but have a look
at http://aboutlinux.com/art_k7opt1_a.html

Run xbench before and after you rebuild.

I did not know that, but before I do it (again), would it make a difference on
my Pentium MMX 233?  I don't have a Pentium Pro/II.

I'm glad you gave me the heads-up on this.  I'm sure it'll come in handy in the
near future!
