Hi,

As I said before, I have just moved to Linux. My computer has a Intel
Centrino Duo T2600 processor. I know it is not the best (dual core, 32
bits, 2.15GHz) but I also got 2GB RAM and that makes the difference.

I compiled the source code and got good exes. I got 20% more speed than with
the Windows version. My question is whether I can optimize more the
compilation. I just used the ./configure from the source code. Is there any
parameter for gcc that I may include manually to optimize for my processor?

Thanks,
Zoly

To get the best results with your processor, you might get the Intel C++ 

Compiler (ICC available for free) which will improve a little the 
performances. And a bit more if you use the profiling options (this wil 
create a first binary to "learn" statistics about code usage and then 
permit a better optimization)
