Seconded. Which is why I always try to compile packages where possible,
instead of using rpms.

Sometimes there's no other "out", or laziness takes the upper hand. RH 7
and 7+ has always been good to me with Yellow Dog, Polished and Mandrake
rpms (where these haven't been available from RH), but avoid it where
possible.

Not only that, but the optimisation and performane of source code on the
machine/OS spec and libraries on which the code has to be used, has to
be better. i386 optimalisation on a i686 machine just can't give the
same performance.
