I've tried it in a 2xPIII, 512 MB of ram. I've done kernel compiles...yeah
yeah I know kernel compiles are not a good benchmark but since linux uses
-pipe for gcc...I though it may try it to see if it makes a difference
(suggestions about better methods to test this are accepted :). The results
could be very well stadistical noise (it looks like it only takes a second less
on average), but I though it may be interesting.
