Compiling options for python

Tue Jun 27 08:08:47 EDT 2000

Hi, 

I'm running Zope in a intra/extranet enviroinment On Debian/Gnu Linux 2.2 , 
and it  seems that most time is waisted in python. I guess the cheapest way 
to improve perfomance would be recompiling python with more aggressive
options. What options can be passed safely to ./configure? 
It has gcc 2.95.2, which AFAIK has egcc stuff merged, so should I be able 
to use pentium optimisations (Yes, I know that they are unnecessary on >Pent. 
pro, but this is a vanilla pentium)?
