What CPU is it, exactly? Could you please post /proc/cpuinfo ?
Please see my previous posts regarding optimizations for that CPU.
Anyway, I'd like to also comment on a paragraph from that page:

Actually you can package the latest in a debian package. Once you figure
how to package it, you see that you can adapt the debian package to work
with a CVS version . There's also cvs-buildpackage for this type of
work.
This will be useful for you if you want to keep a separate build machine
(does not have to have he same CPU, BTW) and then you don't have to
install all of the development packages on your production machine.
