Hello,

I have a LX164 wiht a 533MHz 21164A.

I have the impression that the machine is
performing below average all the time.
I have earlier attributed this to the
avoided use of -O2 for optimization, but
lately I've been wondering if my L2 cache
has been disabled because some things just
run too slow for it to be an optimization
problem alone.

Is there a way to check if the L2 cache
is disabled, if it indeed can be disabled?
And is there a way to enable it again
if it is disabled?

- IT
