 Have been running and testing 686 distros and have been running  586
ones and with all nice features i686 cpu's have mmx 3dnow and so on I
would think that on a GUI level the increase is staggering. From a
server perspective it is probably as you say.

just FYI: by default all packages where build with i586. i dont think
you gain 
much speed ups with switching to i686. the most important packages are

shipped with arch i686 anyway

just my 2 cents
