optimizing compilations for my hardware.
Hi. I'm running LFS 4.0. It has worked out quite well. But I didn't use any optimization flags during the compilations. How do I find out what optimization flags to use if I want to compile things? I did look at the man page of gcc, but that's an intimidating peace of documentation to say the least.
Will my software actually run faster when I compile it with optimization flags? And if so, how much faster will my software, in a typical case run?
I have AMD CPU running at 900 MHz. Does it matter what mobo I have? Hope I'm making sence. Bey.
