It's consistently 1-2% in reasonable benchmarks (real-world > code, albeit cpu-specific). I don't understand how this proposal can survive even momentary consideration. We're going to cut off some nontrivial fraction of our userbase to get 1-2% speedup for the rest? As was already mentioned, the people who need speed are probably on x86_64 already. The x86 builds are for legacy hardware *now*, and should be understood as such. regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
