Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

Hi.
Hi i take my time to compile some core packages and graphical libraries/Xfce4 modules such as Glibc/Binutils/Coreutils/GTK2/GTK3/Mesa/Glib/Xfce4-libraries and applets/xorg-server modules using

CFLAGS="-march=native  -O2  -pipe " on k8 family processors 

That means

After compilation system slow downs i hear my hdd crunching even on simple things like simple cli logon. Xfce4.10 load slowly nothing like the first time on standard arch i686 packages - i even create new user to start up xfce4,but default xfce template loads slow in comparision to the first time on

march=i686 mtune=generic.

So gcc doesen't like k8 family ?
Also no matter what kernel i use ck-kx or arch repo, performance is really not satysfying.

Any tips ideas and trick will be much appreciated.

system specs:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+
1gb x2 DDR2 Kingston Dual Channel
MB Chip Nvidia Nforce 550 MPC

pure systemd. - no failed services.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

It would seem to me that march=native would depend on the compilers ability to correctly identify the architecture.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

Yes it identified cpu correct, as i pasted:

 echo | gcc -dM -E - -march=native
#define __k8__ 1
#define __SSE__ 1
#define __SSE2__ 1
#define __SSE3__ 1
#define __3dNOW_A__ 1
#define __3dNOW__ 1
define __MMX__ 1

This is anoying as hell - Why even FSF bothers to put optimalizations if they do not work,or make code bigger and lazy.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

What happens if you just use the repository packages for xfce4?

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

Like i said, it's faster then packages optimized to k8. This is major BS. Xfce made with repo packages are smooth,mine k8 optimized feels like vista on crapy pc, and i don't
use weird compiler  flags and other stuff like that.
Damn i can't wait for Haiku OS more and more.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

How did you compile it?  Did you hand fly it, or did you modify and use the PKGBUILD ?

Nothing fancy,just makepkg.conf edit:

CFLAGS="-march=native  -O2  -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2  -pipe"

Should be enough not to brake things and gain that 0000000000000,1 % performance,but instead it turns my enviroment in to vista that  looks like xfce4.
Edit
...and im using official PKGBUILDS from abs.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

Kernel-ck-k8, yeah might work with march=native, but then again, kernel-ck might call it something different to diffentiate it from a regular compile.  The kernel is the only thing that is k8 optimized.  The rest of the packages are standard arch packages.  I think I may have killed my motherboard with linux-ck, but I have no for sure may of confirming.  I'm not sure how software can melt your chipset.  The kernel variables for io_scheduler in the ck kernel are changed to get the performance, but I didn't really notice any big performance.  My chipset was so melted down it took 8 hours to complete one cycle of memtest (memory wasn't the problem).

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

No real difference between ck-kx kernel or standard repo kernel if it comes to my problem, both giving me slugish enviroment with difference that kx-ck is more responsive in bigger cpu loads.
I might stick to official precompiled packages ,but this is matter of choice and options taken away from me. I theory march=k8 or native should give me better performance then standart "march=i686 mtune=generic" but instead , like i said i've got something that resembles hackintosh running on home badly build pc or vista on single core low ram machine- slow and lazy.

Re: Xfce4 slow down at loading after compiling it for "-march=native"

Optimization seems to be all the way down the line to the point that if it isn't, there isn't any measurable optimization.
