I never claimed there's a big speed advantage between the 3 builds. But since I (for myself) prepare the athlon one, and at least the i386 one for everybody else, I may as well prepare the i686 one.
I think this is a problem: we have too many builds, and that's confusing. Let's just have the i386 one (with the Athlon optimizations) and be done with it. The download page is getting crazy, and we get too little benefit from all of these optimizations to justify the (user visible) complexity.
Besides, we're still alpha, this type of optimizations are the least of our concerns, really.
Definitely.
Algorithmic changes (like using epoll ;) are bound to bring way more speedups than silly compiler flags.
