I added version 3.3.4 to the configure.in for optimization by default.
Since this version is ulterior to 3.3.3 this should not lead to
the same bugs as with early versions of g++ 3.*.

No, this seems to be OK.
Do you get a faster binary when using "-march=i486 -mcpu=i686"?
I remember having tried once, but I did not notice any clear difference.
In order to test, you may measure the time it takes to compile and
open the full documentation:

Help -> Full manuals -> User manual

Don't forget run TeXmacs, open the manual and close TeXmacs once
for fake, since some fonts may need to be created the first time.

Thanks for your help, Joris
