> I just wanted to say that to improve performance if you have a pentium family processor you can go to wwwpgcc.org and download the rpm's compiled for the processor you have (hint the pemtiumpro package will work on pentium's with mmx and in petniums 2). They will improve speed slightly. I would also recomend you get the pgcc compileer since it does a good job at speeding programs up.
