Some time back, there was a post on one of the mailing lists that suggested it was better to leave either I486_CPU or I586_CPU enabled in a kernel config even for much newer processors. For performance reasons, AFAIR. Naturally I didn't save that post or a link to it. Can anyone find that message, or explain why it would be good to keep either of those cpu options in a kernel that will only run on much newer CPUs?
