Last time I looked, the difference between no optimization whatsoever
and "-O3 -march=<your chip here>" was about 30 percent. But yes,
pthreads makes a big difference. And I think pthreads is mandatory for
1.9.

BTW ... 64-bit compiled is slower than 32-bit compiled on a 64-bit chip,
too ... cache sizes, alignments, and such, I suspect, though I haven't
taken the time to profile it.
