Compiling for Optimum Speed

[erde]

open world/makefile
look for this line:
COPTS=$(WFLAGS) -g -march=i686 -O -pthread -pipe -I../common/SocketLib \
-DFX -D_GNU_SOURCE -DINVERSEXY -DWORLD $(DFLAGS) $(MYSQL_FLAGS) $(PERL_FLAGS)

remove the option -g and change -O to -O3. maybe you would lower the loglevel? if so change EQDEBUG=5 to a lower value.

from debug.h the EQDEBUG values
////// File/Console options
// 0 <= Quiet mode Errors to file Status and Normal ignored
// 1 >= Status and Normal to console, Errors to file
// 2 >= Status, Normal, and Error to console and logfile
// 3 >= Lite debug
// 4 >= Medium debug
// 5 >= Debug release (Anything higher is not recommended for regular use)
// 6 == (Reserved for special builds) Login opcode debug All packets dumped
// 7 == (Reserved for special builds) Chat Opcode debug All packets dumped
// 8 == (Reserved for special builds) World opcode debug All packets dumped
// 9 == (Reserved for special builds) Zone Opcode debug All packets dumped
// 10 >= More than you ever wanted to know

just do the same for the zone and eqlaunch makefile

I am not a gcc expert!
