I got several FreeBSD servers running on our ESX server. I like to build things from source and from time to time update the kernel and world on the virtual machines. Works great so far.
I'm just curious if there's any point in specifying CPUTYPE in make.conf? So far I haven't. uname gives i386 as cpu. Would there be any performance gain in setting i686 for instance? Or which type would be best for VMware images?
