You'll probably get about 1% performance increase. You can probably get better performance if
you recompile Glibc, and your CPU time-consuming daemons. Also tweaking TCP/IP options will
probably help. Also, if it's a 100 Mbit NIC, it's a good idea to replace it with a NIC that has
TCP/IP built-in . Sorry I forget who makes them, but they do have web presence. Those NICs
consume up to 30% less CPU time! To see which optimization options will work best for you,
experiment. If you don't want to waste time experimenting, there is no sure answer what's best,
since different codes produce different binaries with different results.
