You might try -m686 or even -march=686.  You're compiling
386-optimized code.  The first gives PII optimized, and the second
uses PII opcodes.  You might also want to try -O9 (if you're using
egcs) since this may allow even more optimization.  Also, optimizing
for size instead of speed may make things faster; using sine and
cosine could be faster (!) than a lookup table if the table's big ---
memory is *slow* so if you're short of cache, and Pentia have good
floating point.

Let me know if it helps...  Not that thisi is especially relevant to
the original poster's question.
