I know this may sound like a dumb question but I have to ask.
Is Eu still compiled for 386? If so, wouldn't we possibly get a speed increase
just by recompiling for 586?
As the commercial used to say "Inquiring minds want to know".

I try to compile for at least the 586 (Pentium) where the option exists.
For example, I use the Watcom option /5r which indicates the Pentium.
I think GNU C chooses automatically somehow, I guess based on the
machine you are compiling on.
With the translator for DOS, using Watcom, you can specify
the -fastfp option. That will give you faster floating-point
calculations, but you must have floating-point hardware,
i.e. any Pentium or higher, and some 386/486's.
