Because all the changes are within the error margin and not a single one is
really significative I think.

Ok, I think we should wait a little more in order to have a clear view. I'm
going to only apply the modifications needed by the BeOS port without any
optimization to the code.

I totally agree: non-MMX code should target Pentium, MMX code Pentium MMX
and K6, 3DNow! code K6-2/K6-3 and so on
