If I am not mistaken, Knoppix is compiled for i486 (source of info is the great website www.distrowatch.com). I thought there was a performance gain when compiling for i586, and I seriously doubt a lot of people still use x486 hardware ?

Wouldn't it be interesting to compile future knoppix versions for the i586 in order to gain speed ?

Thanks for your reaction,
