Hello,

I found that the following flags are best for Glide3x on AMD Athlon 550
with gcc-2.95.2.
pgcc-2.95.3 has some problems with -O6 and -ffast-math for this stuff.

-O6 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -malign-double
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=5 -funroll-all-loops
-fexpensive-optimizations

-mpreferred-stack-boundary=5  --- 32 byte aligned?!

The current kernel (2.3.41/42) compiles and run but I can't see some
significant speedup.
(-O2 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=5 -DCPU=686 -malign-double
-fexpensive-optimizations -march=i686)


Regards,
        Dieter

BTW If I should do some tests for you send me some input.
