	Hmm... If I have a PII (Actually celeron 300A) or a PIII, which is
better, 'pentium' or 'pentiumpro'? I would think the latter, but I've
learned not to assume where gcc is concerned.

	Also, I have heard conflicting reports as to whether compiling the
kernel/world with optimisations is a good thing. Anyone care to (re)open
that can of worms?

Thanks,

Doug
