You do know that Pentium optimizations are only for Pentiums and that such binaries could actually run slower on anything Pentium-II/Pentium Pro and above than i386 (actually i486 optimized binaries iirc - must check gcc) optimized binaries due to the architecture differences of the Pentium? Been such a long time since i saw any mention of i586.
