This is exciting news. I assume that most (if not all?) rpm sources can be built with the same optimizations? If so, hopefully I can get a little more kick out of that venerable motherboard and CPU, before I upgrade.

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!
