xvidcore for Debian
-------------------

For ia32 CPU users:
This version of xvidcore is compiled so it can run on all ia32 CPUs.
It's done that way to comply with the Debian policy.

However, xvidcore still uses specific instruction set optimized
code detecting CPU features at runtime. So all in all, this binary
won't be much slower than a specific subarch targeted build. But
if you're in search of maximum speed, rebuilding the package
with -march/-mcpu/-mtune options matching your CPU can increase
codec's performance up to 2% or 3%.
