I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to Linux, but something I'd been wondering about for a while was CFLAGS settings, and whether I could make anything run better. After recompiling BM and re-running it, it made little or no difference (marginally slower, but within margin of error). Not to daunted I wondered about recompiling the 2.4.26 kernel, just changing -O2 up to -O3 in Makefile. Recompiled and setup, and was rather surprised at the speed increase!
