I'd be interested as well. I can see HPC applications potentially
benefiting but what about "real world" applications? Web, Email,
Databases, App Servers, etc

I'm specifically curious about it as I spent some time in Gentoo Land
and optimized everything seemed to be the mantra. In my own experience
the *apparent* performance difference between a system compiled as
"AMD optimal" vs "Standard x86-64" was minimal to the point of being
unnoticeable.
