Go with -O. That is the current recommendation. -pipe and -m486 should
be okay.

A 64Mb machine with that setting? Should be higher IMO. Especially if
you have a lot of newsreaders.

Unecessary, I believe, although I'm not sure about the AMD part you
use ... I'd think that it would have it's on FPU.

Hmm. I'd suggest they go to a -stable kernel too and see if that helps
any. Some bugs in the pmap code have been fixed (I believe).
