I wonder if any of you know if BIONIC 5.8.16 use any of the CPU´s extensions with my current AMD 64 3200+ (MMX (+), 3DNow! (+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64)...or is there a "tweak" so BIONIC can use these to speed things up...? Regards Mikael Sweden ID: 43206 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Optimising rosetta to use the extensions is unfortunately not a trivial task as there's over 1m lines of code! There were a few people looking into it I believe (Mats Petersson & Who? and possibly others) but I don't know if they got anywhere... ID: 43215 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
