And you really host that on a gcc 3 system ? Brave :) |

Just leave it "as is" and upgrade your hw. You can of course try to compile |
| 13 |
your system with athlon optimizations afterwards but that's even more brave |
| 14 |
than simply running a production system on gcc3 :) |

Btw. for servers more CPUs is better than one fast CPU. Think about it: One |
| 17 |
fast CPU you have to serve 2 requests. One request gets the CPU for time x |
| 18 |
then the sheduler decides that the second request gets cpu time and so forth |
| 19 |
until both requests are served. With 2 CPUs both requests can be served in |
| 20 |
parallel (really parallel not that pseudo parallelism the sheduler gets out |
| 21 |
of your one cpu). |
