+<PRE>Le dimanche 26 septembre 2010 &#224; 01:16 +0200, Renaud MICHEL a &#233;crit :

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The optimization you are talking about (which will increase

+</I>&gt;<i>

+</I>&gt;<i> In such a system, the maintainers could decide if it is worth to provide a
+</I>&gt;<i> more optimized package or if the compatibility with older hardware should be

+</I>
+The idea of i686 to i586 was already discussed to death in the past :
+<A HREF="http://ideas.mandriva.com/en/idees/show.php?id=77">http://ideas.mandriva.com/en/idees/show.php?id=77</A>
+
+Yet, no one gave real numbers in one year, nor on the previous cooker
+threads. Until there is real way to measure improvement ( and by real, I
+mean nothing related to a variation of <A HREF="http://greenfly.net/mes.html">http://greenfly.net/mes.html</A> ), I
+think all discussion will be a little bit useless.
