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.
