I'd say this is basically a question what you expect your system to =20
do. As this is a fanless Mini-ITX system with a 1Gig C7 CPU standing =20
in my living room and being idle 90% of the time, I expect to have low =20
noise and low power consumption while this system delivers acceptable =20
performance for my personal use (PostgreSQL, postfix/cyrus imapd with =20
amavis, apache, bacula, etc...). Also this system has an integrated =20
padlock chip which makes it ideal as an VPN gateway running OpenVPN.

Still making the system 10% "less lame" by using some optimization =20
levels in compilation at no extra cost is something I certainly won't =20
leave aside :-).

On the other hand, why you want to optimzie the hell out of a 4-way =20
8-Gig Operton server or the like, for normal services you want feel =20
too much difference here, because it is fast as hell anyway.

So, to sum it up, it's a point of view an expectations you have - no =20
general answer possible.

Jan
