Is that with the precompiled binary?  If so, it's optimized for the P5,
and is actually 10% slower than the result of "make i486-gcc" on a PPro.

If it is with the precompiled binary, and we could get someone to
overclock a dual PPro to 233/233, then we might just be able to unseat the
Dual 400Mhz alpha currently sitting at the top of the list.
