Greetings,

I was mucking about with pcemu today and I compiled it with the following
options (despite what it said in the readme):
	-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math

I found that it made a huge improvement to the speed of the emulator. It
even made MS Word for dos usable (if that's the right word :->) and it
hasn't died so far.

Has anyone else tried any optimisation options and had any success???
Perhaps someone could give a more scientific view of the options I used,
as I chose them with the pot-luck principle (:->).

BTW, I'm using 2.1.5R on a P133 with pgcc.

Cheers, Joel...
