You may remember about two months ago I started a flame war asking why
RPM
packages were still optimized for 386. The best answer I heard said that
the powers-that-be do not believe there would be a noticeable improvement,
and if I wanted to affect real change I would need to prove them wrong.
So I've set out to do just that.

I'm being charged a premium for bandwidth, so please download
only the
packages you have installed.
A yum repo would be nice...
Also quantifiable *reproducabile* benchmark testing would go a long
way towards showing whether or not actual rather than perceived
performance improvements have in fact been made.
