  Performance Confusion with AMD Opteron 880  
From: Steve

I have compiled and installed povray (Version 3.6.1, g++ 4.1.1 @
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) on a Opteron 880 2.4GHz box. Configure used the
optimizations -O3 -msse -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -march-k8 -mtune=k8
-maligh-double -minline-all-stringops. A scene file I have takes 45 minutes
running on a single core. This same scene file takes 20 minutes under
Windows XP (standard binary distribution) on a Pentium M 1.86GHz laptop.
I'm assuming I need to build this differently on the AMD box. Any pointers?
