RE: [gnome-slackware]Packages optimisations for different architectures

["Jan Henrik Helmers" <jh tiscali no>]

Hi!

I was wondering...
How much benefit is there when recompiling applications for i686 or 586?
Would there be more benefit with a graphic insensitive application such
as GNOME or KDE?

Hi all!

I am a *proud* GNOME 1.4 user running Slackware 8.0.

I know the philosophy of Slackware is stability and simplicity. All the 
gnome packages from the gtk1 disk are i386-optimized. I suggest, if one 
have the time, to release i586 and/or i686 Gnome Slackware packages for 
people running those kind of CPUs.

An optimized package should deliver better performance and thus, a 
better overall Gnome experience.

That is just a suggestion. Feel free to flame me ;-)

Later, Nic
