Subject:   Is gcc's option "-m486" convenient for Pentium II ?

Hello folks,

Gcc has a "-m486" option that may be used to generate code
optimized for 486 instead of 386. However, I don't trust Intel
in any way, and I'm not sure that the 486-optimized code will run
faster that the 386-optimized one on a Pentium II. Does anybody
know about this question?
