Possibly. The 6x86 has a lot of features similar to the PPRO, I'd
say its more like the PPRO than the Pentium. But whether it will
increase or decrease your speed it probably only something that
can be decided by benchmarking. If the gcc team ever introduced
6x86 specific optimisations, I'd be interested to see how they go.
