 We run GCC with -O3 -march=native, disabling the
 automatic loop vectorization. In all cases, SSE2 instructions were used for
 floating point operations, except Psyco which uses x87 FPU instructions.
+% Psyco does not use the x87 FPU: all floating-point arithmetic is done with
+% residual calls to C helpers.  These can probably be compiled with SSE2.
+% But compiling CPython (and maybe Psyco) for x87 or SSE2 has probably
+% no measurable effect.
 We also run PyPy with loop peeling optimization and without (but otherwise
 identical).

 compilers that use SSA form \cite{chow_new_1997} simplified the algorithms
 because no iterative data flow analysis is needed any more.
