Optimizations and getting along with the kernelI needed a short break from coding on the two projects that I've been working on for the last few days on so today I added support for both PPC AltiVec and AMD 3DNow instructions to the KCPUInfo class. Basically for completeness. Now take a deep breath and read the part that says "for completeness" again. I think it's a little funny how for most people just mentioning 3DNow, MMX, SSE or AltiVec is enough to recompile whole kdelibs and spend two days looking for speed differences. KDE is not at a point where assembly level optimizations would matter a lot. geiseri is working on a rather neat DCOP cli optimization.
