I looks like my original posting didn't make it, so here goes again.  Apologies
if this is a duplicate.

Here's the setup.  Sun 4, SunOS 4.0.3, R4.

I have compiled the Xsun server with -O3, as opposed to -O2 (or -O).  It seems 
to be working fine.  I'll try -O4 next.

Since I'm relatively new to Suns (9 months) I was wondering if there is any
particular reason why I should not do this.

In general, performance is already very good on 4/260s and 4/370s.
Does anyone have any ideas how much of a perfomance change this should have;
or am I just chasing shadows?

Thanks
